HANDICAPPED WOMAN HELD IN "SOCIAL GATHERING" SLAYING MERRY CHRISTMAS FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE ASKS FOR COMMISSION Resolution Reported to House Authorizes Expenditure of $50,000 Congressman Fish Asks That Negro Be Named WASHINGTON, D.

SENATE DEMANDS INVESTIGATION OF CONVICT LEASING La Guardia Resolution Would Direct Attorney General to Furnish House With Information on Contract WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The Senate today called upon the Department of Justice for an explanation of the department's action in entering into a contract to lease 200 colored Federal prisoners to the State of Georgia for road construction work, as revealed by the New York World Saturday. The resolution approved by the committee and reported to the House authorizes the President to appoint a commission and appropriates the sum of $50,000 for its expenses. Preceding the report of the resolution, the foreign affairs committee held an open hearing, at which Joseph P. Cotton, Under-Secretary of State, and Francis White and Wilbur J.

The demand for an explanation by the department was made in a resolution introduced by Senator Wagner (D., N. Y.) and adopted immediately by unanimous consent. Wagner's resolution reads: Resolved, That the Attorney General of the United States is hereby requested to report to the Senate as soon as practicable: "(1) The terms of a contract entered into on the 18th day of October, 1823, between the Prison Commission of Georgia and the United States of America by the Superintendent of Prisons, relating to the transfer of 250 Federal prisoners to the custody of the Prison Commission of Georgia; ```markdown ``` "(2) Whether the transfer has been made pursuant to the contract afore- "(3) A summary of the operations under the contract; "(4) The reasons which prompted (Continued on Page 6.)

Best that we know gro in Journalism face when our relations and greater than have been o LIKE RUNNERS in a relay race, the present staff of The Amsterdam News took up where a previous staff left off, and must continue on until their stint is done. No one now connected with the publication is responsible for its inception for starting the race. That honor goes to James H. Anderson, who did his bit and who is now in retirement. His road was beset with obstacles most of the way, but with the aid of the late Edward A. Warren and other public-spirited men of his time he stumbled, but ever onward, until his relay was run. HAD ANDERSON, and Warren, not persevered, had either one of them given up the race anywhere along the way, there would be no Amsterdam News today. True it is that time may have evolved a newspaper similar to The Amsterdam News to serve the Negro populace of New York City; and true it is that many of us who are identified with The Amsterdam News today might have found work and opportunity on such a publication; but it could not have conceivably been called The Amsterdam News, or have been the newspaper we know so intimately today. THEREFORE, it is entirely fitting that on this day, the Twentieth Anniversary celebration of The Amsterdam News, we bow in reverence to the Founder and those persons, living and dead, who made it possible for us to run our race. EIGHT YEARS AGO, soon after the present relay was begun, The Amsterdam News was bought regularly by a little less than ten thousand persons each week. Today, it is bought by three times that number, with but scant increase in the population it seeks to serve. In pages, it has been increased from ten to not less than twenty each week, with eight instead of seven columns to the page. YET, HOW ARE WE of the present staff running our relay? Circulation figures and the number of pages and columns can tell only a part of the story. Progress is measured not so much by figures alone as by opportunities and obstacles overcome—by the distance we have traveled since we began our relay. All that we have reason to know is that we are on the way. If it were not so, over twenty thousand persons more would not be cheering us now than when we first began eight years ago. BUT THREEFOLD INCREASE in circulation and twofold increase in the number of pages impose threefold and twofold obligations on us to run the faster, to stumble less often and to regain our feet and wind the more speedily. Each additional reader gained is a correspondingly greater responsibility. NEITHER ANDERSON, nor Warren, covered as much ground as they would like to have covered in their relay. They did not cover as much as they thought they would cover. Nor have we. If we had, today would see us with fifty thousand readers instead of thirty, and forty pages instead of twenty. But we are neither disheartened nor satisfied. We have done and are doing the best that we know to advance the cause of the Negro in Journalism, so that those who take up the race when our relay is run will have greater opportunities and greater advantages, with fewer obstacles, than have been ours. —THE EDITOR.

DANVILLE, Ky., Dec. 16—John Edmund Wood, D.D., president of the National Baptist Convention of America, passed away at his home in Danville, Ky.; yesterday afternoon. The deceased was pastor of the First Baptist Church in Danville, a member of the city council, and had served eleven years as moderator of the Kentucky General Association of Baptists. He was elected president of the National Baptist Convention of America at Fort Worth, Texas, in 1925, succeeding Edward P. Jones, and was re-elected last September at Norfolk. He was prominent in the Republican party affairs in his state. Edition of Contains Page enty Years Ago, by need.....11 After County, Now Several Thousand does.....11 York Through the times, by E.

Miss White, who is handicapped by a club foot, was held without ball for another hearing next Monday. The girl is reported to have confessed the killing to Detective Durning of the West 135th street, who arrested her in her home shortly after the tragedy. The girl was sitting on the knife when he found her, according to the officer. A death struggle was enacted, witnesses say, when the women agreed to disagree at the "social gathering." Rushed to Harlem Hospital by taxi-cab, Miss Davis was found to have stab wounds in both breasts, the back, neck, left eye and left wrists. Shortly afterward she was pronounced dead by Dr. Levine. When confronted by the police, Miss White wept. She is said to have asserted that her intention was to (Continued on Page 2.) Navy Co-operates To Stop Attacks Sailor on U. S. S. Arkansas Is Identified as Assailant Crews of eighteen United States war vessels have been inspected by N. A. A. C. P. representatives, with the co-operation of the Navy officers, in an effort to identify sailors who attacked and beat two colored men in the New York subway recently. As a result of this inspection, one man has been positively identified as having committed the attack and a naval Board of Inquiry is to be appointed. William T. Andrews, special legal assistant of the N. A. A. C. P., accompanied Carol Clark, one of the attack victims, to the Navy Yard in Brooklyn on Saturday morning, Dec. 7. They were informed by Captain Cannon, of the battleship Wyoming, that all the men on the ships under the command of Admiral Cole would be lined up for inspection and one man on board the Arkansas was positively identified by Mr. Clark. The N. A. A. C. P. protested to the Navy Department last spring about attacks on Negroes by sailors on shore leave in New York, and Messrs. Johnson and White complained in person to Admiral L. R. DeSteigueur, commandant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The attacks stopped at that time have apparently recommenced and the N. A. A. C. P. is determined to make an example of some of the offending sailors. CORRECTIONS In last week's issue of The Amsterdam News it was incorrectly stated that Dr. A. A. Holdbrooks, who was held for the Grand Jury in $3,000 bail on a charge of having performed an illegal operation on a 14-year-old girl, resided at 212 West 139th street. This is the residence of Mrs. Lenora Phickney. Dr. Holdbrooks lives at 231 West 139th street. , eee é Pi . ‘ Page Twc : The New Work Amsteraam News ; WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1929 1 OR .

New Jersey Judge Flaunts Prejudices T. B. James, Justice of Peace, and Others Voice Protest to Views Negro citizens of Bergen County are incensed over a statement made by Judge Leland F. Ferry, on Dec. 5, while he was sitting in place of Judge Charles J. McCarthy in the First Criminal Court in Hackensack. Advice say that nine Hackensack men were arrested by Detective Sergeant John H. Shuart and Detectives Charles Hartman and Joseph Dalia, when they raided a clubhouse at Fair and Ackerson streets on the afternoon of Nov. 1. When the case came for a hearing the detectives failed to identify any single one of the nine men as having been actually gambling at that time. The acting judge, after finding the men guilty of gambling, reversed his decision and held the defendants for the grand jury under $25 bail each. In handing down his ruling of guilty, however, Judge Ferry said that "the men were not guilty, they could not stand around while gambling was going on and not have participated." Attorney Joseph H. Gaudielle, defense lawyer, told the judge in part, that "you can't find a man guilty of propensity." Through T. B. James, justice of the peace, I. S.

"Konjola Gave Me Surprise Of My Life" "Words Cannot Describe the Miseries From Which This Medicine Freed Me." Medicines, like men, are known for their deeds, not words. Konjola, the medicine of 32 ingredients — 22 of which are the juices of roots and herbs— is backed solely by what it has done. Tens of thousands of men and women have praised Konjola after learning, through happy experiences, of its merits. [Name] MRS. MABEL OLIVER Photo by Torres, 101 Lenox Ave What encouragement could be found in the files of this medicine! What good news, the countless endorsements would prove to all who learn for better health. Take, for instance, the case of Mrs. Mabel Oliver, 122 West 131th street, New York. Is there any wonder that she is one of Konjola's most enthusiastic friends? Yet her experience is just one of many who, to their everlasting joy, put their faith in Konjola, get the facts about this medicine, one is entitled to the facts about the medicine in which they put their memories in their and their hope. Meet the Konjola man nearest you and ask question what Konjola has done and is doing; hear of any number of instances where Konjola has given relief. Perhaps you have lost heart; perhaps you are discouraged. Many have been, and then found the relief they sought in this splendid medicine. Read the words of Mrs. Oliver and then decide what you will do about the medicine that gave her such glorious relief. Just a few days ago she said to a Konjola man: "Konjola gave me the surprise of my life; words cannot describe the miseries from which this medicine freed me. I was constipated for years and indigestion resulted. I used the strongest of laxatives, and gained only temporary results. I kept losing in weight and strength, and was all the time. I suffered constantly from nausea, and could not find anything to relieve this riddle suffering. I tried medicine after medicine, but kept on getting worse. "A neighbor told me about Konjola and she praised this medicine so high that I decided to put it to the test. Well, as I said, Konjola gave me the surprise of my life. In one week I began to feel better. My mood was regulated, and my question was implemant. I was feeling better than I ever expected to feel again, and I am freed of all my health troubles." --- Konjola contains no alcohol, no nerve-deadening drugs, no heart-depressing chemicals. It needs no such ingredients. Konjola is for the aged and the infant. Get all the facts about Konjola.

HERE at Christmas time, the season of the year when everybody tries especially hard to make children happy, one of Russia's leading economists, L. M. Sabsovitch, is recommending complete separation of children from their parents from infancy! He argues that, under a Communistic regime, children should not be the property of their parents, but they should become the property of the state. In such a case, of course, the state would assume complete responsibility for their care and upbringing. "Baby houses," to be established along the lines of Socialistic pedagogy, would be the places in which these would be reared. The next step would be "kindergarten homes" and then on to "children's cities," in which all state-raised children would five until the age of 17. Under a Soviet rule, private property does not exist; but is it possible to legislate out of existence parental feelings which have dominated from time immemorial? When all's said and done, a child in a home has more power in keeping the parents together, and in making parents better and more progressive citizens. The state, therefore, profits by such a result. In many cases the state might contribute more toward the support of children belonging to poor parents, but it would be unwise "to rob" parents of children, if they want them.—T. E. B.

Of the homes covered, it was found that eighty-eight per cent had electric irons; eighty-seven per cent had vacuum cleaners; seventy per cent had toasters; forty-six per cent had washing machines; and thirty-two per cent percolators. Of 1,449 women who expressed a desire for more appliances, thirty-seven per cent wanted electric refrigerators, which were found in less than four per cent of the homes visited. Twenty-two per cent wanted electric ranges, installed in only 1.9 per cent of the homes. Twenty per cent wanted washing machines and the same number wanted ironing machines. In fifty-eight per cent of these cases, says the report, the women said that they had not bought these appliances because of the initial cost, while in sixteen per cent of the replies it was stated that the cost of operation was too great. Utopia Notes The Christmas holidays are here. Mrs. Minnie Taylor, president of the Mother's Club, announces the Christmas party for tonight at the Utopia Children's House. 170 West 130th street.

BROWN AND WHITE SOCIAL WHIST CLYMAN WHIST CLUB DANCE Come and join the funmakers at their first auditorium of the Brown and White School West Club at Kling Solomon Masonic Temple, 37 West 137 Street, Saturday evening, Dec. 21, 1929. A good time is promised to all, with good music and refreshments. Admission $3a.—Adult. The New York Amsterdam News A Department for the Exchange of Ideas on Homemaking RECIPES wreath and rope, ivy, bay, laurel and the proverbial mistletoe. The lights should be candles, red and green, with fragrant bayberry mingling. If the lights are not on, the dog should be cut beforehand and decorated with sprigs of holly and red streamers and bows, to be brought in triumph and lighted when the guests arrive. It may be given a place of honor in the decorations, or given a place of service as a table decoration filled with souvenirs, if it cannot be burned. CHRISTMAS time is always an ideal time for a party. Yule logs with these verses may be sent out as invitations: As Mummers and Mimes Of ancient rhymes, I beg you come to my party-o! With the Lord of Misrule We'll keep the Yule In song and game so merry-o! Together' with the date and hostess' name should be the request to dress in grotesque costume and funny mask, the boys coming as girls and the girls as boys. The Lord of Misrule, otherwise known as the Master of Merry Disports, must be chosen after all have arrived. A large "Christmas ple" of brown paper with red ribbons hanging out should be brought in. A card stuck upright in it bears this old rhyme: The hostess should acquaint herself with the custom of Mummery in order to inspire in her guests the spirit of the old English Christmas. Without the door let sorrow lie, And if for cold it hap to die We'll bury it in a Christmas pie, And everyone be merry. Confidences Questions and Answers By EGYPSY ANN The boys draw ribbons, which have numbers attached. Number one becomes Lord of Misrule, who will have charge of the evening's entertainment, and is given a seepet apperance at one end of the room with the lady at one end of the room with the lady he came with, and the other couples in the order of their numbers march around the room to music, stopping before him. He then tells them that he "absolves them of all their wisdom," and just wakes them up, just enough to make fools of the costumes. He judges the costumes and gives prizes for the two best. Christmas Gifts DON'T try to make a grand impression or show. Give gifts within your means. Just because the girl friend is hoping for a fur coat is no reason why you should spend the next year paying for one. If she really cares for you, she will be pleased with a little remembrance. The hostess then passes plates of spice cakes and glasses of cider which everyone parakes of, and then, led by the Lord of Misrule, who takes an offering of cake and cider, they all go into another room where詹妮 sits in a tree. They gather in circle about it, he puts a spice cake on a branch, pours cider about the roots, saying: Bear, bear, apples and pears enow. Barn falls, bag fulls, sack fulls, Hurrah, Hurrah, Burghal. Give your boy friend a small gift or a pretty card. He will be just as pleased as if you were giving him a diamond wrist watch. In fact, he would consider you foolish if you bought something which you could ill afford. Then, too, expensive gifts are compromising. If a girl accepts a very handsome present from a man, she can't help but feel obligated to him. If you are living at home, why not write your boy friend to come to Christmas dinner? I am sure a good home-cooked dinner would be appreciated by many young men. Give what you can afford. It's the Then all go away as the hostess directs and leave the tree to bear. Other Games. Snapdragon, an old English game, may be played by the braver guests. A shallow bowl is filled with raisins over which alcohol is poured and ignited. All the lights are dimmed and the guests try to grasp a raisin without burning the hands. A ribboned bunch of raisins is given to the Give what you can afford. It's the spirit that counts. APEX BEAUTY SCHOOL TO HOLD GRADUATION one who succeeds in getting the most. Since the boar's head has always been such an important part of the old Christmas festival, the guests may be given booklets decorated with the names in which are written sentences having the boar "all" in them. The person who finds the "boars" first, wins a prize Graduation exercises of the Apex School of Beauty Culture, of which Mme.

No Yuletide party would be complete without the games "Blind Man's Buff" and "Forfeits." The two may be combined in one game which starts by one person being blindfolded and given a wreath of greens. The Lord of Misére stands or sits in the center of the room, and the blindfolded player, after being turned around several times, is to hold a crown him with the wreath. The guests take turns at this, and those who are unsuccessful are made to pay a forfeit. The forfeit consists of performing some laughable stunt. Hunting the Wren, a popular old English pastime, is a good way of choosing supper partners. Tiny wren cuts from mat-paper, with a word appropriate to Christmas written on the paper, about the room and the boys hunt grapes. The words are then matched. If the Yule Log is not used on the table a huge fruit cake on which brandy is burned may be used. Squares without shades form a circle which may be made of smooth, unpressed boards on wooden stands, and decked with Christmas greens. Appropriate favors add to the festive air of the table, and may be used if desired. These are little people made of wire, with heads and costumes of crepe paper, dressed like mummers or strolling players of Old England, or representing the ancient Mummies of Play of George and the Dragon. The characters for this play can be found in any book on old English Christmas customs. These figures may march in a circle about the centerpiece, carrying red and green ribbons which end at each place in bon-bon containers that look like plum puddings. Any clever host can make these "puddings" of dark brown crepe paper over a hollow cardboard foundation, and decorate them with a spray of holly or mistletoe. Plum pudding, "sale" (a harmless spiced drink), nuts, and candied fruits, a wine jelly, and fruit cake are appropriate viands for the supper. After supper, the Lord of Mishrule leads everyone back to the "apple" fruit, and it leaves a mysteriously fruited, and its ovaries a green leaves, gold and silver balls, the green apple for every girl and a pear for every man. These hold little souvenirs. Carols may be sung about the tree, and dancing will end the evening.

Beginning one flight down in the cafeteria, special plans are being made. All of the year patrons serve themselves—this being the meaning of "cafeteria"—but on Christmas Day at dinner time (5 to 8 p. m.) a section of tables will be reserved and those who wish may be served. The lobby will be graced, as usual, with a tree and ropes of green, and it will be the scene of many informal gatherings during the holidays. Girl Reserve Christmas festivities began on Dec. 12, and will continue through to Dec. 23, when the smallest members of the department—the Musketeers—will carry gifts and cards to the children at Harlem Hospital. These gifts and cards were made by the Girl Reserves themselves in their various handcraft clubs. The membership, educational physical and industrial departments and the Emma Ransom House will all come together tomorrow in one big Christmas party. There will be many interesting features — games, music, Santa Claus and at midnight the closing with Christmas carols. The physical department will have open house for Christmas on Saturday afternoon from 3 to 7. Christmas in the Emma Ransom House always has a real flavor of home and is a truly delightful occasion. On Christmas eve night the girls who live in the house trim the tree and in the soft glow of the log fire sing Christmas carols. In the morning there is breakfast in the Blue Dining Room and afterwards great excitement over the exchanging of gifts and stockings around the tree. Throughout Christmas week there will be informal parties for the girls and their friends. On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 22, the educational department is presenting a cantata, "Christmas," by Abt, and a Christmas play, "The Littlest Shepherd," by the Children's Dramatic Class.

Inc., wishing to express its sincerest gratitude and to extend its hearty thanks to the members of the theatrical profession for their kindness in donating their services at our benefit and for assisting to further our very worthy cause. We also wish to thank the Messrs. Shuberts and their very efficient coworkers, who aside from leasing us their theatre, made us a generous donation. Also we wish to thank those whose advertisements and complimentary cards appeared in our program and the newspapers whose free publicity made possible our creditable showing. The program rendered was one of the best it has been my pleasure to witness, a program of genuine excellence by high class artists. Charley Johnson's band (it was a wow), and Small's Paradise revue, set a heartbreaking pace for those who had to follow. The singing and two members of this popular revue, was Broadway with capital letters. The clever Jack Osterman and the sweetly garrulous Marion Garante, so one man, Dooley, entertained little talker, officiated as master of ceremonies until after the appearance of Miss Francis Williams, that schlumberger from the White's Scandinavian. The job of mastering the ceremonies was then wished upon our own Jimmy Johnson, the man who had been the man, and he handled it with credit to himself and fellow Harlemites. The masters of ceremonies then remembered that he was booked for another of the many benefits he is called upon to grace, and motored over his job. He not only mastered but entertained in masterly style. Joe Frisco, alternated between mastering and entertaining and the audience never tired of his exceedingly clever entertainment. Then the versatile Jimmie Durante put in his appearance and if there had been no more entertainment than that furnished by the several masters of ceremonies, the audience would have had its "sufficiencies suffaced." Miss Rose Perfect, one of the big reasons why George White's Scandals is a hit, sang right up to the last part of her name, perfectly. Her rendition of "Mighty Lak a Rose," was a thing to treasure in the archive of sweetest memories. If it was good singing the audience wished, the "Great Day in New Orleans Co." with Matt Housley directing and Jimmy Johnson at the piano, gratified the wish. The Hall Johnson Jubilee Singers is one of the greatest "chirping" organizations extant, and the clever Hall Johnson directs them with the uncanny ability of a super-organist. The "Wash-Board Serenaders" put the pep in the program. Other bands on the program contributed more to filling the sense of sight but not the sense of hearing. This band and its unique instrumentation can grind out more wholesome jazz for its size than any other two bands in the country. Glarence Tisdale, proved to the audience just why he has been named society's favorite tenor. Society has a habit of asking for the best and greatest what it asks for. He is one of the few outstanding tenors left of whom we can boast. Addison Carey and his dancing girls were there and left an impression and an impression on Davis. Davis was there also to see that the job was well done and it was. It isn't difficult to forget the percussion, uniformity, grace and agility of the famous Teller Girls" when one looks at the performance. The marvels possess all the valuable assets of the "Teller Girls" PLUS PEP. Derby Wilson demonstrated why tap dancing is now the vogue. His intricate set gave a lesson in the intricacies of tap dancing that few can emulate. Mable Laws Horsey, personality coach for Broadway stars, is a wizard of the stage with a tap dance gift.

If it were possible to select a star feature for the show, it would fluctuate towards Grace's bumy nimble loviness. The little girl and boy who sang and danced, "I Aim Misbehawen," won stellar honors by Lucky Roberts, society entertainers, with Gertie Monk at the piano and Charley Taylor, 1st violin, filled the room with harmoniously frustrated every attempt of old "dead wait." to assisinate the entertainment.

To make success the services of Sandy Brennan have secured the services of Sandy Brennan inner comedy star of Lew Leslie's No. 2 company of "Blackbirds," to provide most of the fun in a peppery reviled "Harlem After Dark." The presenting Sandy is an excellent case of a comedy with musicians and comedians, including Lomax Johnson, the Catagonia Four, the Three Rhythm Kings, Freddie Robinson, Meka Shaw, Theresa Mason and the cutler. Another great talking picture will be presented at the Lafayette Theatre next week, together with "Harlene After Dark." This is "The Great Gabbo," the sensational all-talking, dancing, dramatic spectacle, in which the comedian, Problem and Betty Compson are starring. The picture was directed by James Grupe While we do not like to continue using superlatives to describe the picture we recently been presented at the LaFayette Museum, we must say that no picture within the reviewer's memory has received such unintended praise from the news-room who have viewed "The Great Gabbo" during its long run on Broadway.

Plenty of Entertainment. If the public does its share Friday night as Harlem's entertainers are there is absolutely nothing for anybody to worry about. In addition to the events that will play all evening, there will be other music and it will be right.

J. S. GREENHALL 2020 HONKEY WELL ST. BRONX Oilers Filled, Within 100 Bucks The New York Amsterdam News THE NEW YORK Amsterdam News FRIDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 20th Shelton Brooks At the Alhambra Shelton Brooks At the Alhambra The meanest man in the world is seen in the comedy-drama, "Not Wit My Money!" at the Alhambra Theatre, and his miserly treatment of his wife and beautiful young daughter arouse the ridicule of the audience, and when the tables are turned on the sour old fellow everybody is hung up. Thomas Moseley plays the part of the meanest man on record to perfection. Handsome Monte Hawley is in love with the daughter, Bebe Townsend, and he is the chief connoisseur of the town to his senses, which he cleverly does. The wife who rebelts after years of "bulldozing" is Bessie Wrightson. A foreign count who had been picked to be a bug nobleman, and be a bug nobleman and is kicked, Ted Blackman makes this character enormously amusing. Artio Cain plays the part of a dainty young actress and A. F. Watts is a butcher. All in it is about the funniest comedy-drama the Alhambra has had. "Winter Sports" starts with a day at the North Pole, where Shelton Brooks, Dusty Fletcher, Bob Williams and some others are found, explorers in combat for costumes, trying to get their airplane started to carry them back to civilization—and food. But the engine sputters and dies, and there's no hope of getting back to the land of "eats." A volunteer is called for to die and serve as food so that the others may live. Everybody has an alibi. Then the radio starts telling of a big feast in Harlem. It's a wonderful radio because, when the excited explorers ask questions it answers right back. Finally a little "brown chicken" runs right across the North Pole and they all pursue. It's Mary Clemons. As a fashion-plato male impersonator, Gladys Ferguson makes a hit, as does Oln Wright with her songs and "Lanky Jim" Lancaster with his eccentric dances. A gorgeous production recalls the theme songs of "Hot Chocolates," "Blackbirds," "Runnin' Wild" and "Shuffle Along." The honors went to Manda Randolph, singing that classic, "Love Will Find a Way." Pat O'Malley and Dorothy Sebastian are the picture stars, in "The House of Scandal." At the Alhambra Next Week "Little Orphan," the comedy-drama of a neglected girl, wispily and sweet, and has the biggest good luck will be at the Alhambra next week, with Bebe Townsend, Artie Calm Monte Hawley and others. "Cinnamon Pudding" will be the musical comedy, an attraction to holiday-time, with Shelton Brooks and an extra large cast, including many new faces.

GARLAND ANDERSON smiled his lazy smile, tossed his hat, coat, bag and enormous bundle of papers on the table, and told me a fairy story. I shall call it "The Negro and the President," or "The Man With the Perfect Phase," writes a Daily Express representative. Mr. Anderson is a Negro, and his father was a slave. Five years ago he was a "hellhop" in a San Francisco hotel. Today he is one of the most famous playwrights in America, whose play "Apparitions" had a magnificent performance.

Then he put on his hat, and the audience was impressed. past three secretaries, a guard and de-camp, walked straight into President Coolidge's private apartment and came out with a glowing letter of praise for his play. Mr. Anderson later David Belasco, the famous producer, had put up the money for the play and senators, rabbits, bosses and among others Noel Coward, Ethel Barrymore, Paul Robeson, and many were subscribers at breakneck笑. The "bellhop" wandered back to the hotel, returned his uniform and walked out into fame. "You do it!" I asked. "Mr. Anderson jumped his lazily smile. 'Belleve yourself,' he said, "that is all.'" "Belleve Yourself." "I was like the President." Anderson, "I wrote the play and I said to myself, 'Write to the President—that should help a lot.' Then I thought, 'What a chance you haven't got, my lad.' Then I said, 'Belleve yourself,' and wrote the letter." "I got a reply—the usual police refusal. So I said, 'Belleve yourself,' waited four weeks, and then went along to White House with my play under my arm." "At the door a warden said, 'What dyer want?' I said, 'I want to see President Coolidge.' He said, 'Say, boy, you look intelligent; why not act it?' So said, 'Belleve yourself, and mentioned an appointment, showing my letter.' "So I walked past the warden. Then there were some more wardens and some secretaries. I walked past them. Then they ambushed the President's hand, and killed." The New York critics have fallen down and worshipped the ex-"hellopop" "society" has accepted him and agents "wishing for "Exertion", his next play.

I will talk to about a dying man within the company of undertakers, greyware flowers and the problem of getting the coffin downstairs. The Professional Outlook. During the year now closing the professional stage has made excellent progress in "Shuffle Along" on Broadway this year; no "Liza," nor "Runnin' Wild" nor "Blackbirds." Instead of those brilliant hits we have a show on the main steam with a pain for its title. Our stage in Harlem, which is what one ought to have in mind whenever the term Negro Theatre is mentioned, has advanced to the rear as a successor to the last dozen years. A year ago there were three so-called revue houses in Harlem. Now there are only two. This, as anybody well grounded in higher mathematics will understand, is the last improvement of the 53-1-3 per cent. As the Wolf observes one of the remaining "revue" houses with watery lows, there is reason to hope that 1930 will see still further improvement in the upstown theatrical The economic decline of our professional stage has been even more marked than its esthetic demand than its business following the assaults of the movies, the radio and more recently the talkies, is not well off as it could be. The talkies have thrown both producers and directors into a business determining the pressure of the powerful Equity. As the Negro stage subs largely on handouts from the white theatre, bad business on the stage, and worse business in Harlem and on the T. O. B. A. wheel. For obvious reasons the colored performer is in a much sadder pity situation than the black profession assumes a more serious attitude toward their calling then colored performers; they are better grounded in the principles of their art and they are more versed in their craft than they prepared to meet the sudden shifts and changes mechanical inventions are causing in the theatre. For instance, many actors formerly employed on the professional stage have found demand for their talents in the talkies. The Negro actor, largely because of his professional shortcomings, is not readily as the white performer. The profession contains relatively few individuals who can do the things for which there is a constant demand in the industry, and practiced practically all their talents to only two branches of the profession—burlesque and vaudulee. Those were the first departments of the stage, the companies are being paid more and the talkies have rendered them all but extinct. The number of houses featuring burlesque is falling off month by month and the companies are being paid more and the talkies have rendered them all but extinct. The number of houses featuring burlesque is falling off month by month and the companies are being paid more and the talkies have rendered them all but extinct. The condition of vaudeville is even worse. In 1928 the competition of movies reduced big time vaudeville theatres to smaller, the entire country. In 1929, under pressure the tables, the number of vaudeville theatres dropped to seven. I Told You So. Thus the colored actor finds himself in a falling market for only things he can do now. The public, having grown weary of burlesque and vaudeville as interpreted by clever white performers, has even less stomach for the same type of amusement when offered by less experienced Exploiting only those forms of entertainment which are currently popular on the legitimate stage, the talkies present very limited opportunities for actors who can only shoot and dance and hand the immense popularity of sophisticated melodrama on the legitimate stage has inspired a deluge of underworld pictures, mystery films and other types of thrillers, creating a scandal for the services of actors who can speak well and portray character. For years I have been urging colored actors to develop the dramatic voice and followed my advice the darkened and the delineate the剧院 and the decline of the burlesque trade would not be such a hardship to the job profession. But the actors and the stage signs are that a considerable number of young ladies who formerly earned their room rent crowning hides and shaking their little what-sits in their faces in the future earn their cakes shaking out other ladies' undies in various steam laundries. And more mash-mouthed comedian, after gading Jackson's window, will don overalls and establish liaison with a steve-scooter. It's my contention that a good comedian should be the community than a bad actor any day, and any condition that tends to increase the former and reduce the number of the latter must be set down on the profit side of the ladder.

Observing the puerile and frequently ridiculous notions of the theatre set abroad by amateur groups, I am half persuaded to fall in with Joseph Jefferson's opinion that they always do more harm than good. These structures, of course, do not have a place for the Little Theatre, which almost is the same thing as the permanent place in the cultural life of the community. There are two little theatre organizations in Harlem, Hemsley Winfield's youthful group and the Harlem Experimental Theatre headed by Dorothy Petersen. The Harlem Experimental Theatre has just now approaching its first anniversary, has spent the year performing the essential under-surface work which must form the foundation of any little theatre that is to advance along round lines esthetically and economically. The membership of the Harlem Experimental Theatre consists of an ideal working personnel for a little theatre—the wives of well fixed business and professional men, a sprinkling of stage-struck young women and a minority of men cut a little too much on the bliss one way or another—men who either wear their hair too long or their breeches too loose. The organizers of the Harlem Experimental Theatre launched the movement fully aware of the long process that had preceded effective production. There was why did not promise a public performance for the first year of their existence. Nevertheless rehearsals and private performances given before invited performers would have doubtless reached the producing stage before the end of their first year if the work had not been retarded by the death of one of the founders and the most energetic woman in the theatre. To an institution like the Negro theatre, which stands in desperate need of organizing ability as well as histrionic talent, the passing of a single intelligent and zealous individual into the master.

Her passing was a misfortune the effect of which will be felt if not recognized in all the higher departments of the Negro theatre. Our stage could have been a leading professional than this modest young woman who worked so devotedly to elevate its standards. The Talkies. Negro actors have scored three outstanding successes in the talks. Stephen Fetcht and Glance Muse took Broadway by storm in "Hearts in Dixie," and Ethel Waters, in "On With the Show," started half the world to sing "Am I Blue?" More with the Show, more with the success of Daniel Haynes in "Hurry," the actors of Mr. Haynes' ability are all too rare on the Negro stage. Until the ranks of our performers contain a larger number of actors of his own, they will ten per cent, our theatre will continue to advance in the wrong direction. I could not fairly close this article without a few words in praise of the Renissance Theatre. It was this show that gave me the vibration of the talks to Harlem, and the best pictures shown in the district are still to be witnessed in this house. Beginning with "In Old and Hearts in Dixie," this neighborhood show has town successes immediately after their show downstown. "Thunderbolt," the "Dance of Life," "Bulldog Drummond," "Four Feathers," and other works among the pictures recently exhibited to huge and appreciative audiences. Another attraction of the Renais- ance is its well behaved following. It is easy to have a pleasant without having the customer to the right throwing peanut hulls in one's lap while the person to the left gasses the peanut hulls and dumps dants, unlike the attendants of other Harlem theaters who look, act and speak like animal trainers, are cour- dent and efficient. The house is clean and does not smell like a toilet. The New York Amsterdam News Talkies to Be Installed At the Odeon Theatre Thomas Meghan's latest drama, "The Argyle Case," will be the feature attraction at the Odeon Theatre on Thursday and Sunday. This is the new show considered many one of the greatest detective dramas. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday the Odeon is planning an extraordinary double-feature program: "The River Rivers," which will feature Jacqueline Logan and Hoot Gibson in his latest outdoor thriller, "The Long, Long Trall." "The River Woman" has been described as a vivid splash of life in the most dangerous underworld of America. It is a story of the intrigues, romances, dangers of the Mississippi leeaves from, Shelton Lewis, the well-known "Villain" movie series, the role of the "Mulatto Mike" in this stirring picture. This program is subject to change only if the new talking equipment now being installed is completed by Saturday. In that event, patrons of the 145th street theatre are equally certain to find a splendid afternoon or evening's entertainment there. The theatre is the hottest of Harlem's entertainment facilities. At the same time, it will also have the most modern equipment. While the management of the theatre could not state so with definitiveness, the "Pharapha and Movieplanes" apparatus is expected to be in operation on Saturday. AT THE ROOSEVELT Dedication ceremonies on a great new railroad bridge in the West—two long trains, their locomotives panting, standing on the new structure, with the train heading to the governor's speech—the rushing waters of a wild river more than a hundred feet below—suddenly, the entire structure collapses into the river below. This is the dramatic highlight of "No Deforese," the Vitaphone talking drama, which will be shown at the Roosevelt for four days starting Saturday. Starting Christmas Day the Roosevelt has arranged for its special holiday program, the first showing in Harlem of "Is Everybody Happy?" the Vitaphone talking, singing and dancing pleasing to the crowd. The famous "hit tragalion" screen the infimitable Ted Lewis and his band, Ann Pennington is in the cast. suggest to the management. There ought to be a light over the clock near the door.

HI MANMATTAN AV. wuOOKTYS Historic Westchester County Now the Home of Several Thousand Progressive Negroes WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 18. 1929 By J. A. ROGERS IN beautiful and historic Westchester County — dwelling place of rich New Yorkers—live several thousands of Negroes who, as in many other parts of the nation, present an interesting study in racial and national progress. Coming there originally as domestics, members of the group today include wealthy property owners, professional men, merchants and retired business men. Many professional and business men and women who work in New York also own beautiful homes in Westchester. There are four principal towns—Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and White Plains. In all of these towns Negroes own sometimes almost whole blocks. In New Rochelle it would appear that nearly all the homes in which they live are individually owned, or owned by other Negroes. Of course, the majority of those who live in New Rochelle are domestics, the same being true of the rest of the county. But in any case the possession of these homes, a good many of which are all paid for, reflect great credit. Westchester county being the home of rich New Yorkers, the Rockefeller and others, real estate values are very high and the purchase of homes there meant a deal of original sacrifice on the part of the Negroes. Rent is almost as high, if not as high, as that in New York City. Yonkers [N Yonkers live about 3,500 Negroes, who by all reports, go along well with their white neighbors, within the usual color limits, and this in spite of the activity of the Klan, which has been active in the county. The mayor, John J. Pogus, being mayor, has done of being fair, with the result that Negroes have a large quota of civil service jobs. There are three police officers. The factories of Yonkers employ a good many, with the Oils Elevator Company having the largest numbers, with two as clerks. In a business way, however, Yonkers suffers from the nearness of New York. A good many work in New York and make most of their purchases there. There are several churches, among which is Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church, one of the finest in the county. It was built at a cost of 130,000. The pastor is the Rev. R. S. Oden, who has been laboring there for ten years. He enjoys the reputation of being a man of integrity and maner, eager not only for the spiritual, but also the intellectual advancement of his people. The Rev. Mr. Oden belongs to the type that is a power for good in any community. There is also the Messiah Baptist Church, whose pastor the Rev. S. W. Smith, has also done much good and is highly spoken of by both the colored and the white members of the community. Among the other ministers are the Rev. O. G. Henry and the Rev. Mr. Walton, pastor of the Bethany M. E. Church, both of whom have done work of high value in the community. One of the leading agencies for good in Yonkers is The Round Table Club of Twelve. Organized eleven years ago for social purposes, it takes today a keen interest in civic and political affairs. This club recently caught a home on Irving place, which is being remodeled now to suit the purposes of the organization. The president is S. Lambert, one of the largest property owners in the town. Mr. Lambert has been living in Yonkers for forty years, and runs a successful real estate and employment business in 1898. He is prominent in fraternal end church affairs, and is treasurer of the Eureka Products Company on Wells street. Medical Academy Westchester county also has an Academy of Medicine, composed of doctors and dentists, nearly all of whom have a considerable white practice. It is reported that these doctors and dentists enjoy more confidence among the white people than among many of the colored, who it is said, are newly from the South and had been taught not to have confidence in colored practitioners. This academy takes great interest not only in the sanitary welfare, but also works for the social and civic benefits of the community, which will be cited later. Some of these doctors are large property owners, and with one or two exceptions, all own their homes. The physicians and dentists of the country, all or nearly all of whom belong to the academy, are Drs. E. T. Jones, former athlete, 45 Warburton surgeon, and W. Harold Amos, former physician for the Board of Health; Dr. Morgan, founder of the Alpha Physical Club, who has been practicing medicine for 29 years. Before Dr. Morgan went to Yonkers he practiced in Harlem, where he was the first Negro doctor. At present he is also physician for an organization of German workers. Dr. R. C. Ward is one of the leading citizens and property owners of Port Chester. In New Rochelle are Drs. C. P. McClendon, 10 Winthrop avenue; U. S. Gunthorpe, 41 Charles street; G. Banks. 50 Winthrop avenue; Percy S. Richardson, 28 Rochelle place; Leon W. Scott, 139 North avenue; B. R. Bennett, in Mt. Vernon avenue; Drs. Albert P. Johnson, 48 W. Third street; Mark L. DeLeon 45 West third street; G. W. Thompson, 19 South Eleventh avenue; Clarence Q. Pair, 212 South Seventh avenue; in White Plains are Drs. Errold D. Collymore, 11 Williams street; A. M. Williams, 237 Brookfield street; in Tarrytown, Dr. Redvers Whiteman, formerly of Bellevue Hospital, and Dr. Brown, dentist. It would be impossible to give a full list of all the Yonkersites who are worthy of mention, but the following may be noted: E. O. Austin of the firm of Austin & Austin, who owns one of the finest homes in all the York; Arthur Giddings, civil engineer, employed by the City of New York, and prominent in social and Mason circles, and Attorney Bennett. Othercles, and Mrs. Mrs. Pettit, 382 Riverdale, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Small and Harry Howard of 24 Culver street; Mrs. J. P. Young, 382 Riverdale; Mrs. A. Hamilton and Mrs. L. Milton of Neperhan.

Fraternal Organizations There are twenty-two fraternal organizations, of which the following are the principal: Odd Fellows, S. Jenkins, Noble Grand; Knights of Pythias, Monroe Foy; Goodfellows, Knights of Pythias, Roland Francis, Elks, Elks, Philip L. Ryerson, Exiled Ruler, Elks, Philip L.

The boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are a part of New York City. Long Island comprises the boroughs of Brooklyn. Queens and the counties of Nassau and Suffolk. Since no native Brooklynite considers himself a Long Islander, Brooklyn should be included in another article. Long Island, up to twenty years ago, showed slow progress. At that time one traveled to Corona or Flushing by way of the Thirty-fourth street ferry; then by trolley through beautiful farm land and across swampy meadows. This trip took one hour to Corona and one hour and twenty minutes to Flushing. There were few Negro families in the towns of Long Island at that time. There were so few Negro families in Corona at that time that when a stranger came to town and was seen going eastward, every one knew that the Daniel J. Hills were "to have company"; likewise with the Jacob Govans, the A. L. Randolphs or the Jeffersons. Flushing boasted of many more "first" Negro families than Corona. The mansion of Bishop William B. Derrick was as much of a show place for Negroes as the old meeting houses built by the followers of the two Quaker leaders, John Bowne and John Fox, were to the whites. The families of T. R. Lowry, Philip Galligo, Addison Williams, whose ancestors have lived in Flushing for more than a hundred years; the Treadwells, who are direct descendants of Long Island Indians; L. H. Latimer, Charles T. Smith and C. W. Williams are some of those who more than thirty years ago were contributing to the civic and social advancement of Flushing. In those days, North Beach was the play ground of Manhattan. Fuehrer's Park, at what is now the fashionable Jackson Heights, was a most popular picnic ground for the Ianthia Wheelman and other organizations. New York society centered around West Fifty-third and Fifty-second streets looked forward with pleasure to the week-end trips to Hotel Lincoln at Averne and Rockaway Beach. This hotel was later owned by the late Emma Dorsey of Corona. The Long Island of today presents an entirely different picture. The borough of Queens has experienced a most phenominal growth in the past twenty years. Situated as it is, directly across the East River from the Forty-second street district, which is the center of activity for Manhattan, it represents a By DAISY CARGILE REED The New York Amsterdam News Returned World Traveler and Author Finds Larger Percentage of Home Owners in Part of New York Made Famous by Residences of John D.

Queens TRANSPORTATION facilities have contributed much toward the growth of the borough. Instead of the two ferry lines of thirty years ago, Queens has now to facilitate the travel of her citizens the Queensboro Bridge, which was opened in 109; the I. R. T. subway; the B. M. T. subway; the Second avenue elevated line, all of which will bring you from any part of New York City through Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Corona to Flushing for a five-cent fare; also the Fifth avenue bus to Jackson Heights. From the establishment of the first paint factory by Smith one hundred years ago in Long Island City, there have grown 2,200 industrial establishments employing 90,000 men and women. There are sixty-five communities embraced in Queens, the most familiar and widely known being Jamaica, Flushing, Long Island City, Astoria, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, College Point, Far Rockaway, Forest Hills and Richmond Hills. In 1800 the population of Long Island City was 2,312; of Flushing, 1,818; of Jamaica, 1,661. In 1927 the population of Long Island City was 155,003; Ridgewood, 100,000; Corona, 48,000; Jackson Heights, 13,500; Elmhurst, 35,000; Forest Hills, 13,000; Flushing, 52,000; Jamaica, 112,000; an estimated population of the borough of Queens, according to statistics of the Queensboro Board of Commerce of 1,055,00) people scattered over its 117 square miles. There are six high schools; two junior high schools; two continuation schools; one teacher's training school; one parental school. There is also under construction a subway from Fifty-third street and Eighth avenue. The completion of the Tri-Borough Bridge will connect with Harlem at 125th street and make Queens as easily reached as if the Enst River did not separate it from the mainland. Indeed, the fact that five cents brings you to Queens from Times Square in fifteen minutes emphasizes its superior advantages to home seckers. WITH the phenominal growth in pop- WITH the phenomenal growth in population there has been a proportionate share of increase in the number of Negro families who have sought Queens for its convenience, the opportunity offered for buying homes, and its educational facilities which are the same as in Manhattan and other parts of Greater New York. It is estimated that there are nearly Among others in business are John Lee, who has a prosperous real estate business; Mrs. Betty Brandon, notion store; 86 Warburton avenue; The Manus Beauty Shop, Nepperman Heights and Main street; Mr. Paul Mills road; and Sawmil mill roads; Samuel Nelson groove and butchery; Matthews, Adams & Lee, 17 Irving place, and Prior & Brooks, 14 Irving place, undertakers; Mason Thomas, carpenter; B.K. Walkins & Livingstone, tailoring establishment. Mr. and Mrs. Winfield are also both well known and highly thought of citizens. Mr. Winfield is an engineer, and Mrs. Winfield is a nurse. Miss Scott is also a trained nurse. There are many foreign Negroes in Yonkers, Portuguese, Cubans, and others, who work principally in the sugar and wire and cable factories there. They get along well with the native Negroes. Mount Vernon MOUNT VERNON suffers even more than Yonkers from the proximity to New York. It is a suburb, and can be reached by the subway. The estimated Negro population is about 1,500 and the white population is about 650, gaged in domestic service, and who constitute the major portion of the Negro inhabitants. New Rochelle 5,000 Negroes in Corona instead of the four or five families of thirty years ago. Among the business and professional people who have moved to Corona in recent years are Dr. Samuel F. Jenkins; Dr. Charles Pinckney; Dr. Robert W. Carter; Dr. Albert S. Reed; Percy Green, a high school teacher; Frank Wilson, the actor. There are three barber shops, a grocery store. MRS. DAISY MARIA MAYORA three real estate companies, two tailor shops operated by Negroes. The Corona Congregational Church, of which the Rev. George W. Hinton is pastor, was for many years the only colored church, but there are now a Methodist, an Episcopal and a Baptist Church. The building of the first apartment house for Negroes by Archibald N. McPeer brought many new people to Corona who wanted small apartments. The last apartment house to be opened accommodates sixteen families and all of the apartments are taken. FLUSHING is one of the oldest and most beautiful of the villages of the borough of Queens. Among its 52,000 inhabitants there are approximately 4,000 colored residents. There are two churches, a Methodist and a Baptist, and one undertaker. Many of the old residents retain their membership in the white churches. Mrs. Jeanette Norman, a prominent musician, is organist for a white church. Among the professional people who have moved to Flushing in recent years are Dr. Forest Hayes; Dr. J. E. Lovry; Eugene Kinkle Jones; Gerald F. Nor- the most progressive of all the towns of the county. It not only owns a higher percentage of homes, but the social and civic activities, and general welfare of the community command higher interest. The folk of New Rochelle, headed by Mrs. Boddie, wife of the Rev. J. B. Boddie, of the Bethesda Baptist Church, were successful in getting Roland Hayes to come to sing for them. They were able to raise his concert fee of $2,000 after the white people had been unsuccessful in raising a smaller sum to get another Negro singer. The surplus of restal went to the Westchester School. Foundation for an organization made up entirely Negroes to aid colored youths in their studies. New Rochelle ranks high with the best Negro communities in no matter what part of the country. There are also the Winthrop Neighborhood Association, of which Mrs. Boddie is president; a branch of the N. A. A. C. P., a Lyrical Association of Muscle; a tennis association with a fine court, a Boy Scout Troop, and other activities. Among the churches are Bethesda Baptist; Shiloh Baptist, the Rev William Slater, pastor; St. Catherine's M. E. Church, the Rev. Mr. Crutchfield, and Seventh Day Adventists, the Rev. Bradford, Bethesda MRS. DAISY CARGILE REED Ago and man, a high school teacher; Dr. St. Clair Jones. A successful coal business is conducted by Mrs. Mattie Williams, the wealthiest Negro in Flushing. Her office is on Main street and she has large real estate holdings, both in Flushing and Manhattan. JAMAICA was settled about the same time as Flushing by New England MARGILE REED pioneers who, history says, "placed the Janeecas, a tribe of Rockaway Indians with one coat, one iron kettle and eight bottles of 'likker.'" The growth of Jamaica is truly phenomenal. The population is 112,000. Although Jamaica is farther from Times Square and hasn't the same convenient transit facilities as Flushing or Corona, yet in recent years more Negroes have bought homes there than in any other town on Long Island. When you walk through Merrick Park, you will readily see the reason for this exodus—there are blocks of beautiful one-family modern homes of stucco or brick. I was told that one company had built 300 modern homes in Jamaica for Negro families. Many business and professional people have in recent years bought homes in Jamaica. Among them are the following: Dr. T. Roy Peyton; Dr. George Carter; Billy Pierce; Clarence Williams; and Romeo L. Dougherty, sports and theatrical editor of The Amsterdam News; Dr. Milton Wilson, Dr. J. Thompson; Dr. C. A. Guillot. There is in Jamaica a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. In the process of Baptist Church has a Home Finders' Association, which owns an eight-family house on Winthrop avenue in addition to other property. The leading real estate concern is the Ray-Leon Realty Company, of which Dr. Leon W. Scott is president, and Raymond H. Aylor of Port Chester is secretary and treasurer. This company has built three houses in New Rochelle, one of which accommodates four families, and has remodeled a six-family house into a twelve-family one. This company had a start, and was begun by four members who put in a certain sum each week. On DeWitt place, Horton avenue, Rochelle place, and Winyah avenue, nearly all the homes are owned by Negroes; on Winthrop avenue all are colored. That many homes have been able to own their homes, have to be in no small measure due to the banks, which have been friendly and have advanced the necessary credits. Much of the progress of the community is due to Dr. Leon W. Scott and Dr. Percy S. Richardson, two aggressive and forward thinking young men. Dr. Richardson has a fine aplendid library, is president of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and is on the Hospital Staff of New Rochelle. He has been practicing for five years. Dr. Scott has a fine modern dental office on the main street, and is not only active in real estate circles, but takes a keen interest in the advancement of the community. The Rev. Branch is also one of the leading spirits and takes an active part in the N. A. A. C. P. Dr. C. P. McClendon is also on the Hospital Staff. He has been practicing in the county for fifteen years, and enjoys the high confidence of the community. He is one of its largest property owners. Among other leading residents, all or nearly all of whom are property owners are: Attorney J. A. Ross, 23 Rochelle place; Mrs. Ross is a notary public; Mrs. Epps, Mrs. L. Waters, Charles Isbell, S. Davis, W. J. Brown, and Mr. Jones, who are active in real estate circles; Henry Junior, who is a member of Union avenue; Ambrose Randall, 160 Guyon place; Bruce Flowers, of the prize ring; Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Smith of Winyah avenue; for years Mr. Smith conducted a grocery stores; Mrs. B. L. Randolph Henri has a modern undertaking parlor; Dr. Julia B. Johnson, christiopid, has a fine office with a large patronage on North avenue, the main street; Samuel Davis, a grocery store at 24 Brook establishment on Uxenan, the printing establishment on Uxenan, the grocery stores are also several carpenters, electricians, and plumbers, many of whom are in the union. New Rochelle has one colored policeman. There are no Negro teachers in New Rochelle. George Ralston, 21 Clinton avenue, and Mrs. Portia Wiley Nickens, Remington place, both teachers in New York City, make their homes in the town. Among the music teachers are Miss Vivienne Shirland and the Misses Marie and Ella Davis, and Mrs. Mayne Shelton Gordon. Mrs. Marie Young on Winthrop avenue is president of the Women's Club, an active organization. No mention of New Rochelle would be complete without that of Mrs. Alice Jones Rhinelander and her parents. formation is a Y. M. C. A. The new Fifty-third street subway now being built will terminate in Jamaica and give this section direct transportation in the five-cent zone. In the part of Long Island known as Nassau and Suffolk counties there are approximately between thirteen and fourteen thousand Negroes. The majority of these live in Nassau county and for the most part are domestics in the homes of the many wealthy people who maintain beautiful estates through this section. There are three Negro doctors, two dentists and two lawyers, all of whom are located in Freeport and Hempstead. A. G. Fallings, who lives in Mineola, until recently was director of Y. M. C. A. activities for the two counties. Many Harlem and Brooklyn people have camp sites at Sag Harbor, where is also located the summer cottage of the late Mrs. Daisy Tapley. South Hampton, which is fast becoming a close competitor of Newport, R. I., as a summer resort for Manhattan millionaires, has as its leading garage man Edward Johnson, who is doing a business of over $50,000. Colored men from the south are fast replacing foreign whites on the farms of this section. The Wells Hotel at Quogue is one of the best to be found for Negroes. The Quogue Inn, owned and operated by J. Jamison, is a center for people in a radius of twenty-five miles. The percentage of home owners in those towns is said to be seventy-five. Even those who live on their jobs buy homes and rent them out with the hope of some day occupying them themselves. THERE are about forty churches in the two counties. The Shinnecock Indian reservation located at South Hampton has a population of about 300 people who are descendants of the original Indians by that name and the early Negro settlers with whom they inter-married. Several persons from the reservation have been successful in various lines. The late Dr. William H. Johnson, who practiced medicine in Harlem, and Garnette Payne, who holds large tracts of land that have been in the family more than a century, were of the reservation. Mr. Payne has an office in Pine street in the financial district of Manhattan. Another wealthy and unusual character is the Rev. M. J. Divine, a healer, who maintains a home of palatial proportions at Sayville. Long Island is noted for the fine estates of many Manhattan millionaires among which are the Roosevelts at Oyster Bay, the Mackeys, the Rogers, the Mellons, the Pratts and many others. The fact that a new airport has been established at North Beach; one at Jackson Heights; a pleasure flight hydro-plane station at Corona; together with the Roosevelt and Curtiss Fields in Nassau County makes Long Island the great air port center for New York state. Page Eleven White Plains WHITE PLAINS is the county seat and will be remembered mostly for its battle of the Revolutionary War, and the divorce battles of Kip Rhlnelander and Peaches Browning. The proportion of Negroes is small. Most of them are domestics and day laborers, and the greater part of the rest live in rather poor houses, in groups on the blocks among the white people. There are, however, some fine homes owned by Negroes. Among the churches are Bethel Baptist Church, the Rev. J. G. Williams; Second M. E. Church, the Rev. M. Waters; Second Baptist, the Rev. Mr. Thomas, and A. M. E., the Rev. Mr. Smith. White Plains has a Y. M. C. A. largely to the efforts of Dr. Erold D. Collymore, formerly of New York. Dr. Collymore has a handsome dental office, with a large white patronage. Mrs. Collymore also takes an active interest in the work of the "Y." The secretary of the association is Samuel R. Marcelle, who is a graduate of Yale. A. M. Williams, a fine and progressive young physician, has also a large white practice. R. Harris interned in Bellevue Hospital. There are no Negro doctors on the staff of the White Plains Hospital, but efforts are being made to have them. Among other leading citizens and property owners are Scott Brothers, who own a splendid garage on Williams street, as well as the land on which stands the largest bank in the town. They also have a taxi service. There are also George Clark, who owns his home on Intervale avenue; James Clarke. 51 Brookfield street; T. J. Lee, Brookfield street; Mr. Jones, 6 Winchester street; James T. Evans, 10 Minerva place; James Marchand, 11 Minerva place; William Agnew, 6 Minerva place, George Freeman. 22 Minerva place; Excaled Ruler Alexander of Bright Hope Lodge of the Elks. Among those in the county and the government service are: Reggie Allen and Mr. Gittings, who are employed in the court house; James Evans and Marshall Gibson, mail carriers, and others. There are no Negro policemen. McLarty and Wiggins have a grocery store on Fisher avenue; Howard Brothers a jewelry shop on Brookfield street. Charles Lievelyn is a linotypist who belongs to the union Among other civic activities is a branch of the Urban League on 65 Grove street, which gives instructions in cooking, and home-making, and has a rooming-place for young women. In Irvington-on-the-Hudson there is, of course, the well-known Villa Lewaro, the very fine mansion of the late Mine. C. J. Walker, which be now to her daughter, ALElla Walker. Among the leading residents of North Pelham are Bishop C. C. Alleyne and Mrs. Alleyne, who spent several years in missionary work in Africa. Tarrytown N Tarrytown are some 700 Negroes. Among the churches are the Shiho Baptist Church, the Rev. C. L. Franklin, pastor, and A. M. E. Zion Church, the Rev. J. R. Walter, pastor. C. C. Jackson, who has been living in Tarrytown for 45 years, is one of the best known citizens and takes a leading role in the fraternal affairs. Other leading members are Daniel T. Teagle, son of Grace Teragle of New York City; Matthew Valentine, lay preacher, who has a large trucking and moving business; George D. Matthews, deacon, who is engaged in undertaking; J. T. Tysinger, who has one of the largest ice routes in the community; William Kingsland, has been a mail carrier thirty years; J. Walter Nelson, trucker business; William Hayes, postal clerk; T. D. Matthews, mail carrier, and George D. Matthews, prominent in several fraternal organizations, Mrs. C. C. Jackson takes a keen interest in civic affairs. Elmsford IN Elmsford live some 250 Negroes, all or nearly all of whom are said to own their homes. Among the leading citizens are Chester Wilson, and his firm friend, Everett Gibbs. Mr. Wilson, now in the real estate business, has the finest home in the neighborhood, in addition to nine other houses and lots. He served with distinction during the war as a member of the Fifteenth Regiment; was for many years the cap at Grand Central Station; and he present a member of the Board of Education of Elmsford, Mrs. Wilson is an active worker in the Westchester Federation of Women's Clubs and other organizations. Mr. Gibbs, also a property owner and prominent citizen is secretary of the Knollwood Water District, which means that all persons who want water must see him. Among the churches is the First Baptist, of which the Rev. W. K. Winfield is pastor. Other well-known citizens are Jesse Rhodes, plumber; Thomas Yarborough and Edward Scarey, employed at Grand Central Station; Robert Clagion, upholsterer of New York City; Christopher Prior and William Payne, who are employing County Court at White Plains; Edward Jackson, who owns a gas station; Miss Clara Jackson, teacher in New York City; George Allen, automobile mall owner with a business in Brooklyn, N. Y.; and John Martin, proprietor of a hardware shop in White Plains. In Glencoe, near Elmsford, "Buck" Taylor owns a near garage. In conclusion this writer wishes to note with regret on his part that he was forced to leave out many persons worthy of mention, either because it was impossible to get precise information about them or because of lack of space. But as was noted, the spirit of Westchester county is decidedly one of progress, as evidenced by the large percentage of property owners and those who are striving to own their homes.

Seeing Little Old New York Through the Eyes of Oldtimers By E. AUBREY JONES COMING up from the subway at the corner of 135th street and Lenox avenue, the newcomer is greeted by throngs of passers-by. They come from the four corners of the earth; they are of every color, style and description. Smoothly groomed men, beautiful women—they look as if every country in the world had had a part in their making. Up and down the avenue they stroll, laughing and chatting, their eyes sparkling in the electric lights; they fill the broad pavements that are hemmed in by the stately, cliff-like apartment houses. This is the Harlem of today. It has not always been so. Oldtimers look on smiling at the gay crowd and remember that it has been very different. They recall the days, not so very long ago, when there was no subway whizzing underground, and when Harlem was one great field empty of everything but goats. They remember when the center of Negro life in New York was downtown, in the Fifty-third street section, in Thirty-third street and San Juan Hill. They recall the days when pioneer negro citizens were fighting to make New York fit for colored people to live in. Dr. John Milton Williams, 105 Edgecombe avenue, has seen it all. He was born in New York City and knew all the pioneers. He says they were a fine lot of people, winning the respect of both races. In 1880, he says, the Irish, most of them recent immigrants, occupied the area from 126th street over to Tenth avenue. At this time the Negro as a mass was new to New York and there were separate schools. The Negro teachers of that time made an impressive record for the race, especially the Rev. John Peterson and Prof. Charles Reason. The Rev. Mr. Peterson was the principal of the colored school of the Episcopal Church and Prof. Reason presided at Grammar School No. 3. These two gentlemen stood out above the masses in manhood and courtesy. The schools, although they were separate, were conducted by well-educated men and women who took a keen interest in the future of their pupils. Among these teachers were Mrs. H. Tompkins, widow of the Rev. Mr. Tompkins of the Presbyterian Church, Miss Mary E. Eato of School No. 3, and Miss Imogene Howard of School No. 4. Most of the Negro teachers were normal school graduates, Hunter College then being only a normal school. "They were fine examples of womanhood," declared Dr. Williams, "and stood far above the average teachers of their time. Miss Eato, my teacher, was my ideal when I was a little fellow. I remember vividly how she would coach me in my back subjects and urge me to go on and on. Unlike so many people of today, these ladies were constantly urging the boys of the school to enter City College. Three boys were sent there from School 3 and three from School 4. Two passed from School 2 and I was the only one from School 3 to make the grade. Philip N. Gallico and William H. Moore were the other boys to pass. Gallico went into business and Moore into journalism." Dr. Williams later entered Long Island Medical School and was graduated with honors. The separate schools did not last much longer. People began to ask why there were two schools in a neighborhood when one would suffice. Negro teachers, fearing that mixed schools would jeopardize their positions, at first opposed them, but they lived to welcome them. Among the prominent men of this time were the Rev. Cella Martin, the Rev. Mr. Highland and J. J. Zuell, a printer. This, however, was about the year 1860. In those days, said the doctor, New York was hardly more than a group of villages and Bleecker street was called uptown. In the early 70's the Freedmen's Saving Bank was a leading institution, as prominent as the Dunbar Bank is now. Lenox avenue from 110th to 116th street was all one big field, where the boys would romp and play. In those days the members of the Day family were leaders in the catering business. One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street was the heart of the village of Harlem and the region about Eighty-sixth street was called Yorkville. At that time one could go to the Park Theatre, the best of the time, and see the Negro orchestra come into the pit, applauded by the audience. Negro musicians were then in demand. Negro coachmen, sitting erect behind high-stepping horses, were a common sight, and so were Negro footmen in the great houses. BUT when Americans began to travel to Europe in great numbers, there came a change. The newly rich Americans brought back English and other foreign servants and the colored ones were "out of luck." The doctor said, too, that many of the colored servants were careless and undependable, while the European servant was efficient. "I don't mean to say that the present The New York Amsterdam News The Negro in the New York Fire and Police Departments Civil Service Observer Finds That There Are Ninety Officers on the New York Force, But Only Five Fire Fighters-Should Be More on Both day Harlemites are idiots or Bedlamites," said Dr. Williams, "but their manners are not to be compared with those of the early citizens. The people of today get puffed up over nothing. They stick up their noses when they get successful and look down on their former friends. We're all but two jumps from a mop and broom and three from Dixie or the West Indies." The doctor was outspoken in his denunciation of Southern prejudice and said that early Harlem felt its sting, just as the present generation feels such things as the case of Dave Myers at New York University. The Southern cracker is a bad one," said the doctor. "He spreads his doctrine of hate wherever he goes. Nat Turner was right when he started his rebellion. We had in those days the professional Southernner who delighted in using the word nigger, or darky, or coon, and cheered whenever Dixie was played. Only the efforts of Yankee ladies, who were indignant at the insults to colored men and women, caused the practice to be stopped." When asked what the future held for Harlem, the doctor sat back in his chair and scowled thoughtfully. "I'll tell you," he said, "things are looking better for our folks. I recall the time when a Jewish or an Italian citizen would be laughed at if he ran for office. But today a Jewish man is Lieutenant-Governor and an Italian re- FIRE DEPARTMENT In a cigarette it may be taste, but at a fire it's grit, quick thinking and common sense that distinguishes one's he-man qualities, all of which are possessed by the five Negro representatives on New York's fire fighting force. This skimpy percentage may be a puzzle to many until the explanation crops up that in the annals of the Fire Department only sixteen Negroes have ever taken the Civil Service examinations to qualify as firemen, even when admitted that the job offers many advantages over the average occupations in which non-professional Negroes are engaged. The facts as we have found them would seem to indicate that this is merely another instance where the Negro is content to sit back and lament what he calls a lack of opportunity. But to quote one of the five Negro firemen, "what the Negro lacks is initiative and ambition, not opportunity, in so far as fire fighting appointments are concerned." The Civil Service examinations for firemen are based on the everyday knowledge of a 14-year-old school boy, plus the commonsense of the average grownup. There is nothing really technical or complicated about it. Firemen have but twenty years to serve before retirement, five years less than policemen. The chances for promotion are much better than in the latter department and the salary paid is an attractive one for any Negro with a family. Any male between the ages of 21 and 29, who is at least five feet six inches tall and weighs 140 pounds or more, can take the examination for firemen. Once in the department the work is easy enough and the hazards are small compared with those faced by the average patrolman. The starting salary is $1,769 for the first two years, $1,980 for the next two, and then the pay is increased automatically to $2,500 per annum. After the first four years a fireman is rated as a first grade man and is eligible to take the examination for fire lieutenant This exam is really a bracer, but it is not impossible for a Negro to pass it as has already been proven by the fact that there is a Negro fire lieutenant. Upon attaining this status advancement up through the ranks to deputy chief follows as rapidly as one's mentality and zeal for study will allow. To the individual with a high school education who has been on speaking terms with elementary science, even the examination for fire lieutenant and captain would be fairly easy. In past exams the questions submitted have had much to do with hydraulics, the combustibility of fuels and oils, and administration tactics at a fire. OF the five Negro firemen on the force, Lieut. Wesley Williams of Engine Company 55, is best known. His name has been coupled many times in the past with some of the city's most daring fire exploits. His record is the cently ran for Mayor of New York. The trouble with the Negro is that he sticks to one party too long. He should split his vote." The doctor thinks the race is coming closer together, but that it still discriminates against itself. It is not compelled to live in ghettos; it looks for prejudice where none exists. HARLEM through the eyes of Attorney E. A. Johnson, is much different today from what it was when he arrived here twenty-three years ago. Mr. Johnson was once a member of the New York Legislature, and was also a candidate for Congress from the Twenty-first Congressional district. When asked what caused the first influx to Harlem, Counsellor Johnson said that the landlords had a hunch that a boom was on. They began to build apartment houses, but the white people didn't occupy them as readily as the landlords wished. So they rented to colored families, who seemed to scare their white neighbors. As colored people moved in from downtown and the influx from the South began, the white people retreated before the black invasion. The new homes were in every way modern, thus raising the standard of living. The Negro invasion lasted from 1006 to 1914. There were several race riots, but they never amounted to much. Two of the outstanding activities in most persuasive argument that color prejudice is not practiced in the Fire Department now as it may have been some years ago, and that there is plenty of opportunity there for scores of Negroes if they will but qualify. Williams was appointed to the force in 1919, and notwithstanding that rookie firemen accept ten years as a minimum period of service before looking forward to promotion, Williams studied hard and hurdled the barrier two years before the so-called limit. He is 32 now and has ten more years of service ahead of him before he may seek retirement. He recently took the examination for a captaincy and stands an excellent chance of being placed on the waiting list. Lieutenant Williams is a native New Yorker, married, and the father of two sons and a daughter. There is a little incident in his career that is worthy of mention. It is exceptionally rare that a fireman wins promotion and is allowed to remain a member of the same battalion and station in which he has won his spurs. But such was the case with Williams, thus proving (a) that he fills the job capability, and (b) that he is liked and receives full co-operation from his erstwhile comrades. He is now and has always been attached to Engine Company 55 at 863 Broome street. Although Williams is the highest ranking Negro on the force he is not by any means the oldest in point of service. That honor goes to John H. Woodson, a native of Virginia, who was appointed to the force on September 21, 1014. He started out with Hook and Ladder No. 106, was later transferred to Hose Company No. 5, then to his present station at Engine Company 298 in Queens, which should put to rout that hocus pocus to the effect that Negroes have never been attached to hose or ladder companies. He is, of course, a first grade fireman, has been in service fifteen years and has but five more to serve before retirement. Woodson is also on the department's role of honor. Now, if you happen to be on lower Ludlow street any day when there is a fire in the vicinity, look sharply when you hear that clang, clang, clang, and you may see a fire engine with throttle wide open, and three Negro firemen among its crew. One of them is Arnold Joel, originally of Bermuda, now residing at 113 East 100th street. He is 35 years old, was appointed a fireman May 15, 1926, and now ranks as a first grade man. Next is Walter G. Clark, a former policeman who switched jobs on Oct. 8, 1928, and is now a first grade fireman, having received credit for his two years as a guardian of the peace. He makes his home at 423 Fifteenth street, Brooklyn. The last of the quintette is Edward L. Brantley of 109-16 Thirty-fourth avenue, Corona, L. I., who was appointed April 5, 1928. He is a third grade man. Brantley hails from Georgia, Clark from Virginia. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1929 business during the building of Harlem were the Afro-American Realty Company and the Metropolitan Realty Company. The first owed much of its brief success to John M. Royall and Clarence Hutchins. It is said that the company tried to take in too much territory, and a crash resulted—with many lawsuits. The next big enterprise was the Metropolitan Company. Three enterprising Negro men who carried the burden were Sheridan Ball, J. C. Atkins and L. C. Collins. These ambitious young men began to establish offices in many cities. Their first New York venture was to build a house at Forty-sixth street and Eighth avenue. Then they started a department store. As things were panicky at that time the building was never finished. The company was unable to renew its mortgage, and it had to close its doors. New York had three colored hotels at this time. They were the famous Marshall House and Benjamin F. Thomas's Maceo, both on Fifty-third street, and the Summer House on Forty-eighth street. The big churches were all downtown. Oldtimers remember Mt. Olivet, headed by the famous Dr. C. T. Walker, the Abyssinian, pastored by the Rev. Charles Morris; St. Mark's, with the Rev. W. H. Brooks, and Bethel, with the Rev. R. C. Ransom. Professional men in those days were few and far between. Amohg the law- POLICE DEPARTMENT THERE are in the City of New York ninety Negro members of the police force. In addition to this number there are, also, two policewomen, a police surgeon, an automobile engineer, two caretakers and one elevator operator. The first Negro to be appointed to the local police force was Paul H. Lee, of 366 Greene avenue, Brooklyn, who was appointed thirty-seven years ago and is still active as an indoor worker at a lower Manhattan precinct. Several more were appointed in the late '90's, but they all were assigned to indoor duties and were never given an opportunity to "parade" in blue. Thus, it was not until eighteen years ago that the first Negro uniformed patrolman appeared on the streets. That proud individual is now Police Sergeant Samuel J. Battles of the West 135th street station. Battles won his promotion about four years ago, but for some unknown reason has never been seen on the streets wearing stripes of his rank, a fact which gave rise to the rumor that Battle's superiors did not want him to be saluted by white patrolmen. We are not prepared at this time to give a reason, but Sergeant Battles, unperturbed by public opinion, remains contented in his role as acting detective sergeant in the plain clothes division of the West 135th street station, and is now looked upon as the logical Negro candidate for the position of lieutenant. Robert (Bob) Holmes—the old timers may recall him—was the second Negro patrolman in New York, but just about the time that Holmes was basking in the glory of his work, he was mortally wounded in a running gun battle with a fleeing thug in the late fall of 1917. The 135th street station house, it is remembered, had just been removed from Lenox avenue to 237 West 135th street, just across the street from its present site. The third veteran is Jefferson Rhodes, who still wears his blue with pride. He is attached to the West 135th street station. THE police surgeon is Dr. Louis T. Wright, of 218 West 139th street, who was appointed early this year. Dr. Wright took the civil service examination for the place and came out second. Mrs. L. R. Bruce and Mrs. Nettie Harris are the two female law enforcers. Mrs. Bruce is a policewoman and Mrs. Harris is classified as a patrolwoman, the main difference being that one is assigned to more sleuthing duties than the other. Mrs. Bruce makes her home at 101 West 143d street, while Mrs. Harris resides at 450 Mott avenue, the Bronx. A high police official, who must remain unidentified has stated that more Negro women would be welcome on the force. Whenever a crime occurs a patrolman usually represents the law at the scene, but if there is an element of mystery attached to the case it is taken out of his province and turned over to a detective bureau, which reminds us that there are three Negro sleuths on the city force. Very little information is available on the early life of Wesley Redding, first Negro detective, except the knowledge that he resigned from the force and (Continued on Page 19.) 三 yers were Wilford H. Smith, C. W. MacDougald, James L. Curtis, who became Minister to Liberia under President Wilson, and J. Frank Wheaton. One of the older lawyers was the brilliant T. McCants Stewart, who left New York and went to Hawaii and later to Lil Negro politics in New York at this time were in the hands of Charles W. Anderson, Major Poole, and another Charles Anderson. The Democratic leader was "Chief" Edward E. Lee. Attorney James D. Carr, a brilliant leader, caused a sensation in the Republican party when he broke with it and boldly announced his allegiance to Tammany Hall. He did this because Republican leaders said that it was entirely too soon for a Negro man to be appointed to the County Attorney's office. Tammany Hall saw its chance and appointed Mr. Carr to that office and later to the Corporation Counsel's office. Attorney J. Frank Wheaton was a brilliant and popular figure. He tried many cases before Judge Crain, who is now the District Attorney of the county Negro business has improved somewhat, in the opinion of Attorney Johnson. Today it is mostly barber shops, restaurants and other consuming enterprises. In the old days business was still scantier. Jack Nail ran a famous cafe on Sixth avenue downtown. Major Poole owned another, and Percy Brown and Will Banks, prominent Tammany men, were also cafe proprietors. One of the best known places was that of Barron Wilkins, now deceased. It was the Savoy, on Thirty-fifth street, and was frequented by Jack Johnson, Joe Jeannette, Sam Langford, Joe Gans, and other famous sports and fighters. Attorney Johnson says that Harlem is getting better and better. Housing conditions have improved and the average Harlemite is acquiring property and education. The personal appearance of the people has been so improved by modern cosmetics and other devices that nearly everybody can look rich. In conclusion, Attorney Johnson praised the clergy for its good work among the people and expressed a wish that the people might follow this type of guidance. FREE lunch, a glass of foamy beer and a well-stocked lunch counter often acted as a life saver to struggling students in the old days, says Dr. Albert S. Reed, 127 West 130th street. Dr. Reed is one of Harlem's oldest physicians and has been honored with banquets and testimonials more than once. For many years he headed the Medico Chi Society and the Manhattan Medical Association. No Chinese coolie ever lived more frugally than the student in the old days, says Dr. Reed. The boys practically lived at Beefsteak John's, where they could eat their fill for fifteen cents. When Dr. Reed was plugging his way through the medical school, he wore a dickey and the old-fashioned celluloid collar. Sharing his experiences was another prominent doctor, E. Percy Roberts, who was graduated from the Homeopathic Medical College and the Flower Hospital in 1895. Many a time they ran bells at the Murray Hill Hotel under "Chief" Edward E. Lee, better known as the organizer of the United Colored Democracy. Dr. Reed spent his spare time running errands for a modiste. In 1922 Dr. Reed answered the call of the times and moved from Fifty-second street to his present office in Harlem. For the past eight years his private residence has been at Corona, L. I. His wife, Miss. Daisy C. Reed, is a very active worker in civic affairs, especially at the Utopia Children's House. The Reeds have been married for twenty-four years and the doctor says it will be as many years longer if he has his way. WHAT New York means to the country boy, who comes here to complete his education, can be readily testified by Clifton and Clayton French, Kansas boys. "When I came to New York I didn't know anybody," said Clifton French. "I got a job washing dishes for $4 a week, which was big wages in those days, and stuck to my books. I took the first thing that came my way and finally got something better. It was pretty rough at times, but at last I made the grade and received my law degree from New York University." "We didn't know anybody," added Clayton French when his twin brother paused, "but we had just one friend of the family here. He was John L. Waller, appointed consul general to Madagascar by President Benjamin Harrison. The only thing I can say about New York is that it is tricky and full of opportunities. Harlem affords an excellent chance to any young man, if he will but take hold." Attorney Clayton French holds the degrees of master of arts, bachelor and master of law from New York and Columbia Universities. In 1925 he was Deputy Attorney General of the State of New York and filled the position with credit.

DePriest Declares America Can Have No Democracy With Vote Unequalized Congressman Tells Community Church Forum Haiti Has Right to Govern Self—Former Diplomat Minister Hits Iron Fist "We cannot have a true democracy in America until the American vote is equalized," declared Oscar DePriest, Illinois Congressman, in an address Sunday evening at the forum of the Community Church, Thirty-fourth street and Park avenue. The Chicago legislator spoke on "The Negro's Opportunities and Handicaps in America" to the inter-racial audience of 1,500. He reviewed the progress of the Negro in education and recounted the loyalty by black citizens in all the armed conflicts of the nation. Mr. DePriest took occasion to commend the stand of President Hoover, who asked Congress last week for a commission of civilians to investigate conditions in Halti. That West Indian republic has the right to self-determination and should be taught the science of self-government so the U. S. can withdraw its forces in 1936, when the treaty of occupation expires, Congressman DePriest asserted. The speaker declared that he would favor one or two Negroes on the commission. In order to make sure a sympathetic body is involved, he declared that the investigating body should be fearless enough to say who is right and who is wrong in the present situation in which martial law prevails. In describing the handicaps of the Negro to the audience, Mr. DePriest declared that a vote for a member of Congress in South Carolina is worth ten times as much as one in New York. He was insistent in his demand that, disfranchised and abused citizens learn their rights under the Constitution and demand them. Referring to Congressman Allgood, Democrat, of Alabama, who resigned from the enrolled bills committee Friday, because he objected to DePriest's presence on the body, the speaker waxed ironical. "The gentleman who was afraid he would contaminate me should carry his prejudices to their logical conclusion and resign from Congress," he said. In the discussion on Halti and Negro advancement, which followed the address, Horace G. Knowles, white, former minister to Santo Domingo, and a student of West Indian affairs, rapped the iron fist methods of the marines in dealing with the Haitian peasants. The occupation is deliberately keeping the people from participation in the management of their country, he said. The audience adopted a resolution similar to one sent by the Permanent Committee on International Co-operation of the Society of United American Countries to President Hover at the time of the Haitian outbreak. In Haynes Holmes, white, pastor of the church, who presided at the forum meeting, said in introducing Mr. DePriest: "I like to think of him as the forerunner of all of his race who will DRAMA The Utopia Players, a dramatic organization composed of students attending the various colleges of the city, presented a complimentary performance on Friday evening at the West 137th street branch of the Y. W. C. A. This initial public performance was given for the patrons and friends of the organization. The players, under the direction of Miss Gladys MacDonald, were seen in two one-act plays, "For Distinguished Service," and "Passe." Both plays were admirably done and were enthusiastically received by the 100 patrons attending the performance. While all of the actors displayed the results of training, the work of Mildred Burch as Katherine Burton in the play "For Distinguished Service" was especially realist and worthy of commendation. The organization plans to present a greater and more difficult performance early next spring. Hylo School of Popular Music Jazz Taught on All Instruments. Jazz Bands Formed. Free Demonstrations.

ROSA LEE TOMPKINS, TEACHER OF DANGING 140 BRADHURST AVENUE. APT. 2-D citizens learn their rights under the Constitution and demand them. Referring to Congressman Allgood, Democrat, of Alabama, who resigned from the enrolled bills committee Friday, because he objected to DePriest's presence on the body, the speaker waxed ironical. "The gentleman who was afraid he would contaminate me should carry his prejudices to their logical conclusion and resign from Congress," he said. In the discussion on Haiti and Negro advancement, which followed the address, Horace G. Knowles, white, former minister to Santo Domingo, and a student of West Indian affairs, rapped the iron fist methods of the marines in dealing with the Haitian peasants. The occupation is deliberately keeping the people from participation in the management of the marines. The audience adopted a resolution similar to one sent by the Permanent Committee on International Co-operation of the Society of United American Countries to President Hoover at the time of the Haitian outbreak. John Haynes Holmes, white, pastor of the church, who presided at the forum meeting, said in introducing Mr. DePriest: "I like to think of him as the fore-runner of many of his race who will sit in Congress and the Senate. Congress needs a whole lot of education and I believe Mr. DePriest is the man to do the educating."

Radio News and Programs BY RICHARD L BALTIMORE A Christmas Gift What to give for Christmas is one of the puzzling questions that confronts us all at this time of the year. One solution of this problem lies in the field of audio combines several of the necessary Yuletide gift. It fulfills the requirements as follows: (1) A gift should last all through the year; (2) it must be suitable for (3) it is generally pleasing. If one wants to give a gift for a present, there are several considerations to keep in mind. First, the size of the set should be determined by the size of the apartment of the recipient. If one wants to give a gift in a D.C. or A.C. district and pick your set accordingly, just which set depends upon the purse and taste of the donor. Suppose that your friend already has a set. You can qualify for a acceptable gift in the radio line. A new set of tubes is a gift that would be cherished by anyone. If you don't want to give a complete set, give what you want. You can easily put on. They merely note the set's make and model and dealer will tell you just what tubes are necessary. Another useful gift is a filter or "filterer" whose sizes and are easily put on. They especially useful where the owner of the set has been complaining of noises and disturbances. One of the most popular and useful of all gifts is a new loud speaker. A loud speaker is one of those things that we always intend to change but just never get around to. There are several dynamic speakers by far preferred. The set can be reinstalled in the bedroom, den, etc. Other useful gifts are the new sets of radio parts for boys. These are put up and afford them both an understanding of mechanical thing and a lot of pleasure.

Attorney George Crawford of New Haven, Conn., graduate of the college at Talladega, Ala., and a member of its trustee board for the past twenty-five years, spoke of the progress of the institution in recent years and plans its enlargement in the immediate future. According to Mr. Crawford, over a million dollars has been spent for new equipment at the college within the past five years. The college is now conducting a campaign to raise an additional million. One-nalf of this amount has been promised by the General Education Board on condition that the school raise the other half. The college has already received in cash and in pledges the sum of $325,000. Of this amount, $75,000 was given by the students and alumni of the college. Dr. Charles M.

DECEMBER 18. 1929 Do You Know the Password? TWENTY years ago, when The Amsterdam News came into existence, fraternally, the Odd Fellows in New York were the thing. Today sees a slump in popularity, numbers and enthusiasm among the members of the local Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. Historically, the origin of Odd Fellowship as well as Free Masonry in New York is traceable to the English, and, while Masonry among New York Negroes is older than Odd Fellowship, the former order was far behind the latter twenty years ago. During the early years of the Eighteenth Century, the free Negroes of New York City maintained several societies for their mutual benefit and to aid the slaves in other states. One of those organizations, still in existence, is the African Society, said to be the oldest Negro organization in the United States. Still another of those organizations composed of native born New Yorkers in the main was the Philomatheon Literary and Musical Society of New York City. About 1820 Manchester Unity, Order of Odd Fellows of England established a lodge of white men in Baltimore. It was called Washington Lodge No.1. Believing that membership in this fraternal unity would be of benefit to their unfortunate brothers held in slavery, and prompted by the ardent abolitionists of those times, the Philomathone Society petitioned the Baltimore lodge to establish a branch lodge in New York for Negroes. The request was refused. Sensing probably that the mother organization in England would not continue to sanction the refusal to let the free Negroes of New York come in as members, the white men left the jurisdiction of the Manchester Unity of England in 1S37, set themselves up as the Independent Order of Odd Fellows of America, changed their signs and passwords so that an English Odd Fellow could not be recognized by an American and set about to spread their own version of the fraternity in this country, inserting the word "white" as a reedite in their constitution. On board the vessel "Patrick Henry" plying between New York and Liverpool was a Negro steward, Peter Ogden, a member of Victoria Lodge No. 448 of Liverpool. Not much of Ogden's origin is known but some fraternal historians believe his birth was really in the British West Indies. At any rate, he was a British subject and when on shore leave in New York he sought the literary and musical society members for his companions. Thus he learned of their desire to become. Odd Fellows. So it was that on March 1, 1843, on one of his trips here, Ogden brought with him a charter from the Grand Lodge of England and permission to get up as a unit of the mother organization, Philomathon Lodge No. 646 of New York, and on that date the lodge came into being. Two white men, Robert Sparks and James M. Day were sent along with Peter Ogden by Victoria Lodge to assist him in the work, which was conducted at 102 Elm street about opposite to where the Tombs now stands. From the twenty-six men who formed Philomatheon Lodge No. 646 in New York, a lodge which is still in existence, nearly 15,000 have sprung with a membership of more than 600,000. In the formation of the order here, such old time New York names as Patrick H. Reason, James Fields and others are intimately associated with Ogden in his efforts. The founder of Odd Fellows among Negroes in America continued his work, organizing a Past Grand Master's Council in New York on Oct. 12. 1844. He caused his activities, it is said, around 1850 and died in this city about 1852. ODD Fellowship continued to grow until in 1903, or about that time, it was partitioned off by District Grand Lodges for each state. About that time Joseph R. Magill of this city became the grand master of the State of New York and from that time up to a few years ago Odd Fellowship was the reigning fraternal secret society of this state, reaching its peak under the late W. David Brown. New York City has honored both of these grand masters with lodges named for them. It was during the reign of the late Rev. J. C. DesVerny as grand master that The Amsterdam News was born, the founder of the paper, James H. Anderson being himself a fraternal man and a prominent Odd Fellow. Today there are seventy odd lodges and as many Households of Ruth, the female branch of the order. During the twenty years some of the lodges that have been made in this city and Brooklyn include Alvin, No. 7888; Patrick H. Reason, No. 7763; Golden Fleece, No. 7857; Henry Highland Garnett, No. 6929; Eureka, No. 8152; Joseph R. Magill, No. 7766; B. K. Bruce, No. 8171; Federick Savage, No. 9287; Amparo Latina, 10059; Jupiter; Paul Laurence Danbar; Brooklyn; Progressive; Goodwill; Robert A. Crutcher; W. David Brown. Whereas twenty years ago the order had a local membership of about 5,000, today its local membership is probably just half that many. Some of the men well known in fraternal life twenty years ago who did much for the advancement of Odd Fellowship in these A Brief History of New York City's Secret Orders; Early Beginnings of Masons, Elks, Odd Fellows, Knights and Their Female Branches African Society Here May be Oldest in the Country parts and who have answered the call of the Great Grand Master are Edward Henry, the Rev. J. C. DesVerny, George H. Wright, James K. Lewis, Edward L. Walker, James A. Glasgow, Wilfred Smith, Samuel Buchanan and W. David Brown. Others who were active twenty years ago, some still on the firing line, whose names are synonymous with good deeds in the realm of Odd Fellowship are James F. Adair, Charles J. D. Kemp, J. Thomas Johnson, Joseph L. Pritchard, Samuel A. Gibbs and Howard V. Frye. The last named, a member of the order's oldest lodge, Philometheon, is perhaps THE NEW YORK TIMES - Charles T. Magill - the oldest living Odd Fellow and for several years he was district grand supervisor at large. At the time this publication was launched, Frye was an important factor in the affairs of the order in this city. Twenty years ago, as now, Edward H. Morris of Chicago was the national grand master. To him has gone the honor of being the Sub-Committee of Management's representative from the Bi-annual Movable Conference of this country to the Annual Movable Conference of the Committee of Management, the mother organization in England. For several years Harry J. Edwards of this city has been grand master of the State of New York and for the past few years, Alexander M. Barrow of Brooklyn has been the district grand secretary. FREE Masonry in New York has had a variable existence. Delving into history we find that it was the English also who gave Masonry to Negroes and it dates back to March 6, 1775, or in the Masonic year of 5775, for Free Masonry goes back to 4,000 B. C. On that date J. B. Batt, a worshipful master in the British army under General Gage near Boston, raised to Master Masonry Prince Hall, Cyrus Jonbus, Buestin Slinger, Boston Smith, Thomas Sanderson and other Negroes. September 29, 1784, a warrant was issued forming African Lodge No. 459 of Boston by the Register of Grand Lodge (Moderns) of England and Prince Hall was designated worshipful master. In January, 1791, Prince Hall was made provincial grand master of North America and in June of that year by authority of the mother lodge in England, African Lodge constituted itself a grand lodge under the name of "African Grand Lodge". In honor of the man who had brought Masonry to Negroes, the name was changed on July 24, 1808, to Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Prince Hall having died December 7, 1807. Feb. 16, 1812, the Prince Hall Grand Lodge instituted Boyer Lodge No. 1 in New York City under Peter Lew, grand master of the Massachusetts grand lodge. Then followed Celestial No. 2, Rising Sun No. 3 and Hitam No. 4 and they The New York Amsterdam News By CHARLES T. MAGILL were combined into Boyer Grand Lodge of New York with Paul Drayton as the first grand master. During this early history there is no record of the many other so-called Masonic bodies now in existence. In 1848, Boyer Grand Lodge took on the name of United Grand Lodge of New York with the continuation of added lodges and on Dec. 27, in the old Shiloh Baptist Church, it adopted the full name of The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and Honorable Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of the State of New York with John Chase as grand master, Alfred J. Aldridge, deputy grand master, and Robert H. McDougal, senior grand warden, George W. A. Murray, junior grand warden, J. A. Trower, grand treasurer, and William A. Tolbert, grand secretary. On June 5, 1919, or the Masonic year of 5919, the craft, assembled in its annual conclave in this city at Mother Zion Church adopted the words "Prince Hall" to forever follow after its last adopted full name. Twenty years ago H. A. Spencer was grand master, continuing until 1914 when he was followed by William O. Payne. Davi W. Parker took over the head of the order after Payne and continued until his death in 1925 and under him that Prince Hall F. and A. M. made its greatest headway. Closely associated with Parker was Arthur A. Schomburg, grand secretary. During the interval since the birth of The Amsterdam News there have sprung up in this city many organizations calling themselves Masonic, but the claim made, by the Prince Hall F. and A. M. that other bodies claiming Masonic affiliation are spurious seems valid when the record is searched. Joseph Sullivan became grand master following the sudden death of David W. Parker and from then on the craft has been in turbulent waters. In 1926 during Sullivan's administration, there was begun the erection of a temple on West 144th street that was to cost $500,000. At that time the peak in Prince Hall Masonry numbers in this state had been reached with about 5,000 members and the temple project came to grief after a steel skeleton had been erected. A loss of money and prestige have been the result, with the steel skeleton still standing as a mocking reminder of some one's bad blunder. Daniel T. Teagle, present grand master, came into office in June, 1927, together with Arthur W. Handy, present grand secretary, and to Teagle has gone the terrible task of pulling Prince Hall Masonry over what seemed to be an insu.ountable barrier. Today, at a sacrifice to his health, Daniel T. Teagle has F. and A. M. Masonry on a fair road to complete rehabilitation; lost prestige from the temple muddle has been regained; money invested has been saved; and Grand Master Teagle expects soon to see the craft housed in a comfortable temple of its own in West 120th street. Some of the F. and A. M. lodges instituted within the past twenty years in this vicinity include Mt. Hope in the Bronx, Joppa No. 55, Crispus Attucks, Antioch, St. Cecile, Euclid, Morning Star, David W. Parker, African and Samson. Men who have given much and whose names are connected with the order during the past twenty years, some of whom are resting forever in the East, are Charles Thorpe, Benjamin Meyers, David W. Parker, H. Spencer Carpenter, Dr. Charles D. Martin, James A. (Billboard) Jackson, Dr. Roland R. Johnson, Oscar Cassell, Francis F. Giles, Samuel A. Gibbs, Edward J. Sherwood, Arthur A. Schomburg, Edward J. Sherwood, Charles A. Williams, Harry A. Williamson, J. P. Williams, Sidney Davis, Rogers W. Griffin, Louis Jeppe, and others. WHILE the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World has never reached the numerical strength of either the Masons or the Odd Fellows, for the past twenty years it has supplanted all other secret organizations in growing popularity and solidarity. The I. B. P. O. E. of W., however, seems to have reached its peak with the Chicago convention in 1928. Comparatively young, the Elks came into existence through the efforts of Arthur J. Riggs of Shelbyville, KY, who, as a Pullman porter, came in contact with enough of the workings of the order to organize an Elk lodge himself in 1898 in Cincinnati. Frank Hunter was elected exalted ruler and to him goes the distinction of heading the first lodge of Negro Elks in America. With the aid of B. F. Howard, to whom goes the distinction of being the first grand exalted ruler, Riggs had his manuscripts copyrighted in the United States Copyright Department at Washington, a thing which the white Elks had failed to do. So when the howl went up that a Negro lodge of Elks had been set up in Cincinnati and the white Elks descended upon them they were met with the United States copyright on their work and there was nothing that they could do. Elk lodges began to spring up like mushrooms all over the country and on Dec. 29, 1903 Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 was instituted and chartered in Brooklyn with William L. Pope its organizer and first exalted ruler the first I. B. P. O. E. of W. lodge in New York State. The early stages of Elkdom were fought with much strife both within the order and from the white lodges, in various sections of the country. Thus it was that in 1906 when the annual grand lodge meeting was held in Brooklyn, B. F. Howard, then grand exalted ruler, caused a split in the order by calling another convention, contrary to the regularly voted one, to the city of Columbus, Ohio. Both factions met and held grand lodge sessions and the late Dr. William E. Akins was elected exalted ruler at the Brooklyn convention, with Howard succeeding himself at the Columbus session. From then until 1910 both sides continued to exist, each trying to kill the other. Finally, in the city of Washington, mainly through the efforts of the late J. Frank Wheaton in 1910, the two warring factions came together with Wheaton as the first grand exalted ruler of the combined factions. Then began an era of prosperity for Elkdom, even though it did have to continue its fights against the legal thrusts of the white Elks all over the country. At the Brooklyn convention, before the election of Dr. Atkins, George E. Bates presided and to him goes the honor of being the first past grand exalted ruler On Nov. 2, 1904, Brooklyn Lodge and Progressive Lodge No. 35 of Jersey City set up on Manhattan Island the first Elk lodge, Manhattan Lodge No. 45 with thirty-two members enrolled. Some of those charter members were Charles A. Parker, Howard A. Jones, Bernard C. Smith, Dr. A. A. Kellogg, Joseph Burns, Jefferson Jackson, John D. Hadwin and Percy A. Brown. During the split in the order, a charter was granted to Monarch Lodge with the same number—45—as that of Manhattan Lodge. Each has since retained the "No. 45" as its respective lodge number, though Manhattan is the older lodge, having been rechartered in 1906 with these names on its second charter: James S. Williams, S. P. Jones, D. W. Parker, James H. Williams, William R. Banks, Bernard C. Smith, Dr. A. A. Kellogg, James H. Anderson, founder of the Amsterdam News, H. D. Miller, T. B. Jones, Jr., Joshua H. Williams, Sr. During the reign of James H. Anderson, Manhattan Lodge's fourth exalted ruler, Jan. 1, 1907 to 1908, the lodge became involved in a costly legal battle with the Howard faction through the direction of Anderson. While the lodge spent some $4,000 in the litigation and lost, Anderson's popularity did not wane and he was again elected exalted ruler for a second term. After Monarch Lodge, formed in Elkdom's darkest days with Dennis Armstead as its first exalted ruler, came Imperial Lodge No. 127, formed in the Bronx and brought down to Manhattan after the birth of The Amsterdam News. Notwithstanding a stringent law on the statute hooks of the State of New York actually making it a crime for Negro even to wear an Elk emblem or to call himself an Elk, the order continued within the past twenty years to grow steadily and under the regime of Thomas H. Baskerville, then exalted ruler of Imperial Lodge No. 127, property was purchased at 160 West 129th street and upon that site has been erected a handsome Elk home. The Bronx being without a lodge, A. B. Chrichlow, a past exalted ruler of Imperial, conceived the idea of starting an organization up there. Together with James B. Allen, he put the matter up to J. Finley Wilson, and in 1925, Henry Lincoln Johnson Lodge No. 643 was added to the growing list of local Elk lodges. In 1927 Neptune Lodge was set up in Coney Island and in 1929 Industry Lodge came into existence in Long Island City. From a point of popularity, numerical strength and financial resources, the Elks in New York far outrank all other fraternal organizations. The seven local lodges of men represent a membership of 8,000, almost as great as the combined numerical strength of the Prince Hall Masons and Odd Fellows in the entire state. In twenty years many things have happened in the life of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. locally. It has seen three grand exalted rulers come from this city, Harry H. Pace, J. Frank Wheaton and George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn; two grand esteemed lecturing knights, Dr. Roland R. Johnson of Brooklyn and the present one, Andrew T. Mitchell, Sr.; and several minor grand lodge officers. It has seen the removal from the laws of this state the hated injunction through the efforts of the same white lodge, New York Lodge No. 1, B. P. O. E., which had it placed on; the injunction which could have sent thousands of men and women to jail had it ever been enforced. Monarch Lodge has acquired a home of its own at 245 West 137th street; Manhattan Lodge has come into possession of a handsome club house at 266 West 139th street in the famous "Striver's Row", and owns the adjoining house at 264 West 139th street; Imperial Lodge has became the owners of a $250,000 home; and Brooklyn Lodge has just completed a handsome home at 1068 Fulton street, which is destined to become invaluable as a 'piece of real estate with the completion of the new Fulton street subway in Brooklyn, now in the course of construction. Today one finds so many prominent New Yorkers connected with the Elks that it would be impossible to list them all. Whereas twenty years ago the order had the name of being one in which only the sporting element belonged, particularly in this section of the country, one finds today in all of the gospel, lawyers, successful business men, men who head the political and social world, men in a lwalks of life social world men in all walks of life from the highest down. In closing, it would not be fitting to fail to write of the present grand exalted ruler, J. Finley Wilson. He is facing today the most crucial point in the eight years in which he has headed Elkdom. If the Detroit session in 1930 shows an increase in the treasury through the new $1 per capita tax, and if he is able to show a real maintenance in numerical strength, he will likely stifle forever all opposition to his remaining head of the order as long as he lives or cares to head it. New York has often been called the fraternal city because of its wide adherence to so many fraternal organizations. This holds true with the women as well as the men, for in Odd Fellowship, the women's branch, the Household of Ruth, has shown a steady maintenance in many instances where the men have shown a steady loss. The Order of Eastern Star, the female Masonic organization, headed in this city for years by Mrs. Alice Campbell, also shows a steady good health, and the Daughter Elks in their various temples show a steady gain in membership and financial strength. During the past twenty years the Eastern Stars and the Temples have more than doubled their membership. Excelsior Temple No. 35 and Progressive No. 79, Manhattan Temple No. 93, and Apex, all female organizations of the Elks, and all powerful and influential have been organized since The Amsterdam News. Eureka Temple No. 22, the largest of them all, has the distinction of being the only temple older than this newspaper. Both branches of the Knights of Pythias maintain lodges in this city. Growing fraternal organizations are the Buffaloes, Antelopes and Giraffe. The K. of P. has been the division that has made two different Pythian orders within the past twenty years and all of the latter named organizations are comparative newcomers in the fraternal world. The St. Luke's and the Order of Moses both have grown in financial and numerical strength during the life of this paper and still others have sprung up, all of whom seem to serve some good purpose in the community.

Did not box. My trainer laid me out from the road. Used to go on the road in the morning before work, and in the gymnasium after work. I really feel much better, stronger. I feel much better, bit harder with my right, and have developed a faster left. Will start boxing today in the gymnasium. Drop me a line some time during your leisure.

JAMAICA TEAM WINS FIRST GAME Quint Will Be Sent Against Fast Fraternity Team New Year's Day Jamaica at last has come into her own. Last Thursday evening the Southside Department of the Y. M. C. A. sponsored a basketball game and dance at the Polish Hall when hundreds of persons responded nobilly to there was much cheering and huzzaring when the teams of the "Y" Panthers and the Trenton "Y" Bearcats took the floor to engage in a game which was to make history in the annals of the colored center of Jamaica. The first half was keenly contested by both teams, but when the smoke cleared away it was discovered that the "Panthers" were leading by a score of 19 to 13. The second half was a reproduction of the first, only a touch more spectacular. The shooting of Walker from all angles of the court was a beauty to behold. This fellow completely dominated the second half of the game. Turner also starred for the Bearcats in this half, but when returns were in the Panthers had noses up with the Bearcats by a score of 36 to 9. The Saints Jamalne "T" Panthers.

Many of Long Island's prominent business and professional men were in the audience. In fact, it was quite a distinguished crowd. The Panthers' next opponents will be the Belt Beta Sigma at the Jamaica Arena on New Year's Day. This will be a matinee game and dance and those who were kept away by the inclement weather will be out after hearing of Thursday night's game. The committee is making elaborate preparations. There will be a souvenir program distributed. The entire team people of color have had the opportunity of visiting the spacious Jamaica Arena. Majestics Beat Vagabonds The preliminary game brought together the Majestic A.

Page Sixteen CAVALRY QUINT GETS REVENGE CAVALRY QUINT GETS REVENGE Downs Monarch Big "5" in Return Game at West Point BY AUBREY J. CARPENTER. WEST POINT, N. Y.-Against the Cavalry quintet, teamed with such machine-like precision, teamed with its goal keeper, Monarchs were unrailed behind a loser by a score of 14 to 36 in favor of the Cavalry here last week. In the first half the two teams were caging the masked with success, keeping the score practically a tie. In the third and fourth quarter the Cavalry took a gallop and from then on it was taps for the visitors. The Cavalry Orchestra, under the director of Staff Sergeant H. C. Harper, furnished the music for the occasion. Score by quarters: 1st—The Cavalry outstepped their last rivals, making a total of 19 points before the whistle sounded the quarter off.

Above We Have the Defender Girls, Playing at the Renaissance Casino the Coming Friday Night. Let's All Go Out, and While Giving Them the O. O. Also Let Us Give 'Em a Big Hand. Nat Holman, Foremost Star of Basketball, and His Syracuse Five Swept Off Their Feet By Renaissance Five Season's Greetings TO OUR MANY FRIENDS AND WELL-WISHERS The Renaissance Five "BOB" DOUGLAS, Manager World's Basketball Champions WITH BEST WISHES FOR A Merry Christmas AND A Happy New Year SEE YOU AT RENAISSANCE CASINO EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT BR FRANCIS An irresistible, high-powered Renaissance machine swept Nat. Holman and his Syracuse Five off the court at Renaissance Casino last Sunday night by the score of 47 to 27. Bouglas' colored champions functioned like a well regulated, well oiled, high compression machine, and sparked like the purest of crystals when they were deadly in their precision, the were lightning fast in the execution of their moves, and in addition, they presented a defense, as impregnable as the Rock of Gibraltar. The Syracuse team is well up in the standing of the American League, and with the recent addition of the perennial Nate Holman are among the older players to with the league champions, but the Renaissance team outclassed them individually and collectively last Sunday night. The great combination of Ricks and Saitch, forwards, Cooper, center, and Jenkins and Mayers, guards to, and the courts today, made Syracuse the victim of the same Renaissance poison fed to all the other American League teams they have played so far this season, sustained speed, conceived of the game and speed. There is no team in the business who can stand up under the devastating fire of the Renaissance offense without withering. The champions jumped into the left side of the beautiful lineer by Ricks, Jenkins followed The New York Amsterdam News Joe Deison) Brennan this up with another two-timer, and Mayers made the count five to nothing, with a foul. Two free tries by the visitors brought them out of the zero class, but the Rens kept on scoring amid dazzling passes and floorwork that scintillated like sparks in an illuminated room. Rens' defense was holding up strong and the Syracuse team, led by the wiley Holman, could not get past the barrier for the needed points to pre- vent a complete rout. During this time the score read, 5 to 0; 8 to 2, 15 to 4; 19 to 6, and at the end of the half. The second half brought no let-up for the fast tiring Syracuse team, the champs continued their offensive with just as deadly effect as the first half, and their defense quite as nightly. Finding it impossible to win, the visitors tried long shots, and Holman was able to toss in two from mid-court that helped things a little for his side. With a few minutes left to go, Bob sent in his reserves, and this offered a breathing spell for Syracuse, who took the lead, making a few more field goals that brought his score up a bit. Cooper, who has fulfilled every prediction made of him by all who saw him play last season when he first played for the Rens in strength for theens' attack and in defense, and won high scoring honors for the evening, with six field goals and one foul, for a total of 13 points. Sullivan of the Syracuse team played with field goals fouls, was close behind with twelve points, with Pappy Ricks pushing them both with five field goals for ten markers. It was a great game, and the large crowd went wild from the excellence of the playing of both sides. Next Sunday night the Union City Reds will be the guests of the Rens. Two games have been played so far this season, both in New Jersey, and each game will be a must-credit. The Reds seldom play away from their Union City ballwick, but will come up to the Casino Sunday night to fight for the odd game. With Tony Calland, Adamo, Knudson, Bergen and "Cave Man" Barlow, the Reds are tight, make no mistake about that, and it is going to be some game. The Union City Girls will line up against the Gibraltar Girls in the preliminary game, and the Jerseyites will try to settle an old score, for the Gibraltar Girls recently trimmed them, in Jersey. For Christmas night the Rens are bidding institution Triangles to the casino. The champs turned back the crack Brooklyn quintet a month ago, for the first victory of the season, but recently lost a close decision to them in Oneonta. N. Y. They will both be fighting for this rubber game. Of all the teams in the country today, more respect is hold for the Visitation by the Renaissance team and the Rens, in general, than all quintet. None will fail to remember the last meeting of these two giants of the court game, and the Rens' casino will be packed tight Christmas night. RENAISSANCE.

(Dutch) Hulswoud Tournament hours 20 minutes Carlton's Sensational Victory Over Original Scrams After one of the most thrilling and exciting games ever played on the famous Carlton "Y" gym, the Carlton "Big Five," after trailing their rivals for practically the entire game, was defeated by the defiant into a glorious victory last week. Carlton, evidently underestimating their opponents, sent in practically a second team to start the game, and in a few minutes the Scrams had a chance to win. When the regular Big Five took the court and started their long uphill battle. Slowly the Y boys cut down their opponents' lead until at the halfway mark the losers led 14-10. Enough players were gamewaged into the 20 minutes of the second half. The Scrams halted the march of the Y boys when the second half opened, and with Bleach and Bland doing most of the scoring, increased their lead. Carlton hung on for the last minute, kept in the running by the sensational shooting of Fred-Perry. Carlton rallied about the middle of the half, pulling up to within one point of a tie score 25-24. From then on it was tuck, shoot, and did not change until the last minute of play. The Scrams answered each Carlton rally with one of their own, both teams treating the spectators to some memorable scenes in a long time. With just a minute to go the Scrams held a three point lead, but a basket by "Steve," making his first appearance of the season, and two baskets in rapid succession. The game ended with the game out of the fire and gave Carlton a 38-35 lead just as the timekeeper's whistle sounded, ending the game. For the losers, Bleach, who led the floor, and Bland, who led the floor, and Bland were the stars. For Carlton it is hard to pick a star as all of the regulars performed brilliantly. However, it was Ferry Perry's sensational shooting that kept Carlton in the lead. Russ Carlton's new center, played a brilliant floor game and it was he who caged the two baskets that finally brought victory to Carlton. CARLTON BIG FIVE (38).

Professor C. Cook, Arnold's faculty manager, predicts an Arnold victory, and teams in the history of the institution. While in Washington the visitors are also scheduled to play Galludet. After a tenuous practice period in February, he has worked himself into splendid condition. During the season, Dave Beasley, last year's sub center, has been lost to the team, due to a lesion of a muscle near the heart. Some indication of Bison prospects for the coming season may be taken from the team's last Wednesday Normal team on last Wednesday night, when behind closed doors the Bisons took their neighbors into camp with a score of 45-8. In this practice game Coach Burr used his entire team to win Harris and Pete Campbell showing form in every phase of the game. The Minor Normal's line-up was the same as that which played against Hampton last Saturday, when they lost by a score of 18-36. Utopia Team Defeats Flatbush Boys' Club The Basketball League, composed of Hudson Avenue Boys' Club of Brooklyn, N. Y.; Columbus Hill Community Center of New York City; Bayport Children's Hospital of New York City, and Flatbush Boys' Club of Brooklyn, N.

Tuesday night, Gans, rated one of the best boxers in the game since the days he played, biting off aarge chunk by agreeing to meet Kawler. He is in for a shot at Mushy Gallah at the New York Coliseum for the title and if he should lose the Kawler, the Callahan match is out. He has been piling up a nice record since going to Boston about a year ago.

Chocolate and his manager, Louis Gutterrez, will board the plane at Hasbrouck Heights in New Jersey the coming Saturday. The "Keed," as he is familiarly referred to, wanted to be with his friends, but delayed the trip in order to do one more bit for charity. He will tackle Dominick Petrone of Harlem on the Christmas Fund card of the Fifth Avenue Boys' Association at the New York Coliseum this Wednesday. He will be seen in action at the Olympic A. C., which gave him his first star bout in this city, on Saturday night. Chocolate plans to return here in February to fulfill a contract to box in Madison Square Garden. The Havana flash express requested that the team should not be before 15 when he will cable his verification of the match. Chocolate made this special demand because he is fast taking on weight and is not as strong as he could to box in the feather-weight division or make Sammy Mandell's 135-pound title his goal. Jess McMahon, matchmaker of the Bronx arena, is making a daily check-up on the eight boxers in the team. The night's card and is pleased with the condition of the men. Besides Chocolate and Petrone, the others are paired as follows: Rene DeVos vs, Babe McGorgury, Jack Kid) Berg Zazarino vs, Jose Martinez. It was because of this worthy charity that the boxers agreed to battle on one card. Two of the principals are actually signed for separate star bouts in Madison Square Park, and they tively agreed to bouts in the arena Tex Rickard built. Berg is matched with Tony Canzonzer on Jan. 13, while Chocolate signed a blank contract to meet any opponent selected by McCardle upon his return from his Christmas holiday in Cuba next February. DeVos and Zazzarino have given optional contracts on their services to the Garden forces and await McCardle's call to action. Mickey Walker, world's middleweight champion, is the opponent for DeVos and Pete Nebo is considered as Zazzarino's adversary. DeVos, who claims he was the victim of a home-town decision in his last bout with Doc Conrad in Newark, has a good chance to average that defeat when he meets McGorgary, for which he is a four-round knockout victory over the New Jersey middleweight.

The New York Collegeans, State emateur champions, made it seven straight last Saturday night, when they defeated Collegeans by five and Alambra Ballrooms by the ree of 36 to 29. The Collegeans Five were made up of court stars from several of the leading colleges in the East and put up a good fight, but unsuccessful to play with each other. Against a team with less ability than the New York State champs they would have given a good account of themselves, but the smooth, powerlessness of the Collegians were too much for them. The visitors started in by scoring the first two field baskets, to lead for a brief moment four to nothing, before the smooth, powerlessness and it was not long before they were right on top of their game, they evened the count, and the visitors did not have a chance for the balance of the game. At the half-time whistle the Collegians led 28 Johnny Holt, the brilliant guard of the champs, had another of his many good nights, and accounted for eight of the champs. He and the team of twenty-one points. Hands for the visitors with three field goals and one foul led the Collegiate combination. Next Saturday night the Collegians will inaugurate a series of games between the State and the State, to decide the New York State championship. The first of three canes will bring the strong Wallace Club Five of Brooklyn, N. Y., as the opponents of the Collegians. The Waltzie Club are the champions of Brooklyn, and have been go VIRGIN ISLAND ATHLETES ACTIVE Engaging in All Forms of Sport in These Days Demonstrating rare talent and athletic ability in a champion tennis match closing the 1929 Tennis Tournament of the West Side Tennis Club of St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, Richland, Spartanburg, Quite and elbow-tender tennis, was awarded the 1929 trophy and gold pin after closing the lid on Viggo Perkins, an able player, with the score of 6-2, 6-4, 6-1.

The president, Mr. Lanclos, and the executive committee, D. Victor, met with a welcome and thanks, respectively. Mr. Spenceley's playing impressed conceded emms fans to the extent that he was the champion of the Virgin Islands and Porto Rico; he is good material for international tournaments.

We feel that the champs can take care of themselves, for they are possessed of eight men, every one a dependable star, out of whom can be selected. We need one more with all that is required to make a winning five. The Wallace Club will have to travel at a fast gate to step along with our Collegians, who have lost their opening game.

THE FOOTBALL CLUB The Sporting Department of The Amsterdam News Feels That It Is Most Appropriate to Show the Newcomers While Speaking of the Oldtimers in Today's Paper. Above Are Shown Captain Ed. Corbin, Holding Ball, and Manager Bill Bartlett, of the Arcadians, Discussing Plans Looking to the Defeat of the Bermuda Big Five Christmas Night in Brooklyn. THE GRAND OLD GAME BY SQL WHITE AS it is our purpose at this time to give the readers of The Amsterdam News names of men of the early days whom we have met in our past, and a grow of baseball and a few of the noted stars of the diamond who, prior to the organization of the first professional colored team, the Cuban Giants, were named the stars of the team. Of the time, we will have to omit the names of quite a number of individuals and many incidents during the life of the sport that would be interesting to cover, and the greatest play of curiosity of its followers is the present day. As a matter of fact, there could be no baseball team without any baseball team, and we will be nized as a full-fledged professional team in 1856. From whence the players came and who they were that composed the Cuban Giants at that time is a story of the players of the past. Article. All we will state for the time being is that Washington, D. C., and Philadelphia, Pa., were the main contributors to the personnel of the country first colored professional baseball team. With the backing of Mr. Walter Cook, a capitalist of Trenton, N. J., and a ground well equipped and adequate for the game, he organized his career under the most auspicious conditions. During the seasons of 1886 and 1887 they met every big league team in the country, with the exception of the Cuban Giants, and held their own with all of them. While the Cuban Giants were making a wonderful reputation as an aggregation of colored ball players, at times they were meeting teams having in their possession great pro players in the history of the game, who were playing on different teams of the International League. Fleet Walking Cobra, Tigers, Fowler, Tobe Higgins and Renfro were members of white teams that visited the Cuban Giants at Trenton. The great success of the Giants was a result of their ability to organize teams and form an association to be called the "Negro National League," which was in 1887. It was a great success on the part of the promoters, the first of their schedule of the first month was finished. The death of Mr. Cook in 1853 put the Cuban Giants into the hanss of J. M. Bright (white) and Cos Gov (colored). Mr. Bright was a member of the Giants while they were under the ownership of Mr. Cook, was a smart fellow and a shrewd baseball man. J. M. Bright at that time was a lover of the Giants and was a fan of the team. We class Bright as the leading spirit of his day in keeping the game before the public. Ambrose Davis, owner of the Gorham baseball team of New York and the Philadelphia team, ventured into professional baseball, proved to be of great assistive to the game by his competitiveness in producing teams to combat the great Cuban Giants. Mr. Bright teamed up with the coached team to beat the Cuban Giants in the early stages of the game. That fact was accomplished in an exhibition game between the two teams in Newburgh, New York. The coached team to conquer the Cuban Giants in Keystones, of Pittsburgh, in 1857. The Keystones in the latter part of 57 and the fall season of 58 were the runners. In the tournament of 1858, the coached team with the Cuban Giants, of New York, and the Red Stockings, of Norfolk, Va., for a silver cup donated by the Cuban Giants were beaten by the Cuban Giants. Conveniently every game played against the Gorham and the Red Sox. But we started this article for the The New York Amsterdam News express purpose of giving you an honest personal opinion of man that have been in the game as owners or otherwise keeping the game alive and have shown concern for its future. Of "yo olden-time" owners of colored baseball teams we would place J. M. Bright, second owner of the Original Brewing Company, who dabbled in the game, "J. M." as he was called by his players, was extremely salish in his financial dealings and naturally shredd. Whether under a manager's guidance or players were always called upon to help him in an idea. When it came to getting money, "J. M." was full of ideas. He reached a ground with a packed stack and bleachers and demanded a boost in his stipulated guarantee. He generally got what he asked for. Bright spent his money keeping the game alive and was not a millionaire when he died. In 1885 the veteran ball players who had been playing under Bright for several years launched on their own initiative. They secured E. B. Lamar, Jr., as booking agent and manager. Lamar, the ball man who spent his time and mind in making the game a lucrative calling for ball players. Lamar was manager and booking agent for the Giants from 1895 to 1866, inclusive. His efforts the interest of his team, and he was in the highest regard by the players. Walter Schlichter, the man who was the instigator of the original Philadelphia Giants, was my ideal of an owner. A former player, he was called, was a sportsman and a business man. As the saying goes, "he was a man after my own heart." A former, boxer, beat, pulver, spinner, a boxer, a boxer, a boxer, an attitude toward ball players at the standpoint of athletics. In our association with him as manager of his baseball team, every player that joined the team was an athlete, speaking, was analyzed from the head to the sides of his feet. When it came to the business part of game, Schlichter was "Slick." He knew the second race man to promote as an owner of a professional ball club, Mr. Conn played a noble role in the game before the public. Like a baseball man, he loved the game and went the limit for the "grand old sport." We have mentioned some of the men who owners and managers, have contributed to baseball from $150 to $195. Others who have been identified with the game and did their bit in the interest of sport, but like the proverbial old cow, filled the pall and kicked it over." While the East was coming along with its baseball activities, out in the West the game was only a stride or two behind the ballgame. Indeed, if it came to honors being conferred on the first colored team of note, although not a professional baseball team, the Black Diamonds of St. Louis, Mo., the Black Diamonds of Louisville, Mo., the Black Diamonds of the palm. They were given a publicability by the white press of the country as far back as 1854. The next year in Lincoln, Neb., in 1858, was formed in the first colored professional team section of the country. Next we hear of Will Peters and Frank Leland with the first colored team Union and Messrs. Hoch and Jarosov and the noted "Penge Fence Glants," of Adrian Mich. 1855; the Columbia Social Club of Chicago that backed the noted Collector 1899-1900. We like the efforts of Will Peters in trying to advance the game. long and continuous participation in the sport surely gives them a high rank in the ranks of pioneers of baseball. Passing over owners and teams that were in existence during the years between 2005 and 2019 we come to the wife of a baseball history that has to do with the sport. She was the first league of modern times was formed in 1915 or 1920 with Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Dayton, Ohio, with the organization. The late c. I. T. Taylor and Andrew (Rube) Foster were the leading spirits of the association. Back of the Negro press throughout the country. Rube Foster was selected as president, secretary-treasurer, chairman of the Negro press schedule maker. During the first season the league every team in the organization maio money. After the initial season there has been yearly changes in the league. Its membership until the present day. A few years after the West had started a coalition of baseball teams, as set forth in the above paragraph, together and formed an association "to the so-called "Negro National League." Lincoln Giants and Royals, from New York, Hildale of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Bardachars of Atlantic City, Baltimore Black Sox, Harburg, Pa., and Cuban Stars. Here we have two men since a league started in the East, that has been an important venue and preservation of the game. Ed Bolden, of the Hildale team of Philadelphia, has worked from the ground up in the business end of the game. The city some of the greatest ball playing of all times, and a home ground for his players. James Keanan, owner of the Giants, has placed his team on Catholic Grounds, home on home attraction. There is no other ground in Greater New York that can be named "home grounds" for a colony. During the many years the Lincoln Giants, attended at Protectory Oval under the ownership of James Keanan, along with Hildales, they were the highest salaried country. Keanan has had strong opportunities in New York, but he has fought a good fight. There is not a well-wisher of the game that does not trust and hope Keanan will continue their sojourn under he present ownership at Protectory Oval. I have given you just a sketch of what has happened in days of the past in baseball. You should know someone who presents. From a sport baseball has changed to a commercialized activity. To my mind, was rather premature for the good of colored baseball. As a business proposal, on it fell into the hands of men who knew the game, they ever had for the game. They grabbed a rode into power before the game had developed sufficiently to endure their corrupt methods of commercialized baseball. The game today is far below the hard-working men of the past who gave their time and energy to its advancement. We claim, and we are not alone in the assertion, that the colored press has worked in the sampling the course of the game in last years. baseball has veered towards the shoals of business inactive and sloth, let the press put it on the right course, let it up to where it belongs—one of the greatest institutions of the race. Fred Douglass High Captured City School Title The Fred Douglass Junior High School basketball team Saturday captured P. S. A. L. championship of the city by defeating the Straus combine, 27 to 18, on P. S. 98 court. The Douglass team, champions of Manhattan, succumbed to Straus, Brooklyn titleholder, last year. The Brownsville five in the first quarter lead a 10 to 0. The colored uniforms rallied with closed with Straus leading, 11 to 6. In the last period, Capt.

POOR OLD JOE Madison Square Garden Corporation has given employment to Joseph Walcott, a weightlifter fighter and Joseph Walcott. They gave Joe an empty basket and set him to work picking up and loading the bag. Long after McLarnin and Goldstein organized fighting Friday night—for a purse of nearly $50,000—Joe will be shaken up and down the aisles retrieving crumpled programmes to carn his $30 per week.

Wilberforce Wins Opener WILBERFORCE, O., Dec. 16—The Wilberforce University quintet opened its basketball season with a 32-15 win over the Wilbur Wright Collegeans Friday night on its home floor. Wilberforce had a safe lead from the first five seconds of play, when Carol Lucas dropped the first basket to the end when Charles Lucas made the last basket at the final pistol shot. Howard Clark, formerly a varsity guard, has been shifted to center and, with a little slowing down, should develop into a classy jumper. With only a week's practice the players combination was not perfect, but some idea of the team's potential strength can be gained by considering the fact that this is the combination that a fast "pro" aggregation of Cincinnati nosed out in an overtime game.

The islanders have written pages in the history of athletics here that will live as long as time itself and no care will be taken historian, he will not care approach the West Indian without mentioning the West Indian. In baseball: the West Indian hasn't made any progress because he has been prone to leave the game alone, his contribution being exceedingly small, and it is only in recent years that we find him forming semi-pro circuits. He comes on the smaller circuits. He rights on, are the ones to have made good in the game although one seldom refers to a Cuban as being a West Indian: just another one of those designations by the American whites which causes the smile of ridicule as Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean Sea and one of the most important of the West India Group.

We ask the reader to bear this in mind in persistence we fail to mention certain records which he recorded for posterity, for twenty years ago we had not reached manhood's full estate and in the glamour of the times following it would be hard to imagine such a share of life to record every incident which came under his observation in the growth of the paper and the community in which it has steadily grown its principle of "eating down its buckets." Before proceeding with the record let us pay our tribute to our predecessor, Mr. Henry S. Creamer, who paper had won an ennumerated position in the world of the theatre and as a song writer. Mr. Creamer's term of office as Sporting and Dramatic Editor of The Amsterdam Times was a opinion of this writer that after we had served our probationary period as a recorder of athletic events under Mr. Creamer he decided to return to the school where he had more to expect from him than on the paper, and that he was leaving the foundation he had laid safe in the hands of your humble who has enjoyed the unbroken friendship of the song writer to this very day. And so we come to the first big thing in sport which demanded our personal attention. Mr. Creamer had succeeded in getting the permission to allow the Creamer Detachment to at West Point to send its basketball team to New York City, along with its splendid band of more than half a hundred musicians to play a team of best basketball players of the time. It was at one of the largest armories in the city that thousands poured into the doors to cheer and root for the team through victorious through the value of Charlie Bradford, Ferdinand Accoe and some of the other fellows whose names are fading from the memory of years pass by. Twenty years ago I took the team used to mingle with the elite of our sportsdom here and the late John Connors "carried on" at his night club on Myrtle avenue in Brooklyn, where he was a Royal Giants of that period. He used to come from Miner's Bower Theatre where he was presenting an exhibition with Young Otto and indeed did we feel in that personal acquaintance of "the old master." Being that it was in Brooklyn that we first received the support which was to find us carrying on for twenty years, we consider it a debt of gratitude which must be paid in taking the contribution of the City of Churches in athletics during the life and growth of this paper. The outstanding athletic organization of all times in Brooklyn was the once famous list of older with number on the list of older youngsters some of the most highly respected citizens of the church city, and not until Lincoln University and Hampton Institute met on the gridiron events that have we seen such a large number of supporting an athletic event that could be compared with Smart Sets following in the athletic events staged in the armories of Brooklyn. In other events that brought the outstanding achievements between theletes to compete in Brooklyn drew larger than even the basketball games of the period at the basketball Casino, and larger than the baseball games of the period between the Lincoln Giants and the foremost white stars every Sunday at Olympic Field in Harlem. Smart Set fostered a basketball aggregation which we named the "Grave Diggers" because of the uncanny faculty of the team to mow our courts in Brooklyn, and to own our days when the team disbanded they carried the name. Then came the Laetitius to arrest the attention of the public, followed by the Indians, the upper section of Brooklyn, with the team's share to the athletic glory of the old home town. And so to Acme Hall, Prospect Hall, Labor Lyceum, Dexter Park, Atlantic Park and Casino old we follow the trail, which was made when the famous Spartan Girls have been aizon with the first outstanding girls' team of color in Greater New York. In meeting of the famous Washington Girls of the Young Women's Christian Association of Washington, D.C., the Brooklyn young ladies made a solid stand, abstet they had to accept superb weight and ability of that ladies champions which included the Misses Isadore Kenny, Lillian and Laura Skinker, Helen Gordon, Minnie Summer and Miss Piper and Miss Walker. Yes, draw back the curtains of those real social light who more enjoy those real social light developed the beau and belle of that day to which the Spartan Girls and GOING BACK IN FANCY TWENTY YEARS Growth of the Negro Athlete in Greater New York By ROMEO L. DOUGHERTY ```markdown ``` The Editor Twenty Years Ago Washington Girls made such a splendid contribution. To uphold the honor of our fair city on the wrong end of the Brooklyn Bridge in the roped arena we had "Darky" Griffin, Charlie Smith and a few of the other boys, to say nothily that we paper going in for the championship of the Universal A. C., to be pestered and questioned by the representatives of San Juan Hill (now answering to the softer spoken name of Columbus which numbered among those claiming recognition in the ring the Douglas boys. And so we found ourselves in Harlem. No Sunday was considered perfect without a visit to Olympic Field, presided over by Jess McMahon, sometimes Eddie McMahon, sometimes Eddie McMahon. Here the Lincoln Giants performed under that other old master still taking his share of the lighten up in the person of John Henry Lloyd. When Mendez used the battery for the famous Cuba Star, it was John McGraw (no less) of the New York Giants who made the statement to "pass for white" he would have to "pass for black" forty thousand dollars.

Nat C. Strong, if we are not mistaken, had a great deal to do with the staging of these Ed. Warren, in the future of the popular owners of this paper, arriving in state to take his seat in one of the front boxes is one not easily forgotten. God bless his memory, he lived to labor in this same paper in a manner which is not possible to reach the place it occupies in this community to day. The Philadelphia Giants also contributed their share towards the environment of both white and colored throwbacks in the game, saying nothing of the Mohawk Giants.

Negroes were more baseball minded in those days. For we still had the open lots upon which many semi-professional teams appeared and at the conclusion of their games passed the hat. Passing from the diamond game we now find ourselves in basketball. It will be hard for the newcomer to fully appreciate what basketball from a social and athletic angle meant to the people of Greater New York in its and the years which followed. Here was a group of sexes could enjoy, which also gave all hands their best opportunity for mingling socially. It would take this entire copy of the Amsterdam News for the period in which this game had its hold upon the fancy of Negroes. There they stand, proud of the day in which they carried on and proud of their achievements on the court; of their achievements on the court; of Cyprian, the Younger Set, and like the brightest stars in a firmament of stars stand the heroic men of the those men who made their stories to the best within them. When the famous red and black machine of the St. Christopher Club of St. Phillip's marsh started on its journey to Manila the Alpha Physical Culture Club the car was surrounded by thousands of rabid rooters, and Alpha made her journey supported by other thousands down the rooters of St. Christopher. And on those nights when that far famed cheering section from the church started the works, answered it made the blue and white, it made the blood thrill, driving the populace to wild enthusiasm when the teams took the court and played as only amateurs can play. The Spartan Field Club team, the older club team, of the older clubs, but both St. Christopher and Alpha had reserves to draw from. They maintained younger teams that made the head of the team from whence came the power of the clubs St. Cyprian concentrated on her younger boys and gave to the world the greatest small team of all times, the great "Speedboys" of St. Cyprian. When news of the devastating飞击 of the motion picture studio at 133d street and Park avenue started the last week, not a Negro newspaper here recalled that this same place Negroes, the name at the time being Young's Casino, the well known Gib Young being in charge of it at the time. Here many a hectic battle on the field, and it is that the Youngs met it, led the dashing Ea Miller and under the The New York Amsterdam News sponsorship of Henry Creamer, went down in their last defeat to the unbeatable Washington Girls led by the captain of captains, Lillian Skinner. The Washington Girls came here under the guidance of "Huddy" Oliver Dr. Hudson Oliver of Harlem, who was at the time the country's outstanding athlete at Howard University. For many years the basketball team of old Howard held the championship. No matter how good were the teams of our city the Howard quint "Bob" Himself A. B.

The names of Oliver, Nixon, Gray, the Curtis Brothers, Gilmure, and the few others will live as long as basketball is played in this country. Basketball Jersey were not playing fair with Howard University by having the members of the team come here for carfare, a supper and a night'sodge. We were told that a price be paid that would help to carry the expenses involved in maintaining the basketball team at the university—the balance to go into the university to help along athletics at Howard. If during those days we were charged with too strong a leaning towards the big school in the District of Columbia, we never saw fit to wear it. While we never attended Howard the contact which we had with the institution did much in shaping a career, did, although we do say it is hard, successful in our line in the country. But Daniels proved his strength when St. Christopher, in the face of some of her best men leaving suddenly, continued to carry on and retained a majority of the fans of Green Bay in York. Madden's side of the story carried such a strong appeal to this writer we immediately gave him our support, and rushing to Washington shortly after the break we induced him to join the most popular out of town aggregation playing New York, to come here and meet the Incorporators that New Year's night. That same afternoon St. Christopher staged her annual game one packed Manhattan with 10,000 fans, the doors of Eddie Waldron's once famous Palace of Mirth at the head Old-Timers in Baseball J. H. H.

"Andy" and "Bob" Were Popular in Their Day. In the mastime New Jersey was knocking at the gates and demanding the attention of Greater New York in basketball. Jimmie Fultz at the head of the Owls in Newark, N. J., had defied Norman Goode, "Big Bill" Townsend and the other lads-of-the team in New Jersey and the fight for leader of the St. Douglas Five was putting in his claim and enough of interest was taking place between the teams in New Jersey and the fight for leader of the St. Douglas Five to command the attention of the entire basketball public. Fultz won the title of "Czar of Newark" in the success of the Owls, but before anybody knew of the happening Burrell had maneuvered the St. Douglas Five into a commanding position and he it was who broke the siege in New York City by demanding certain terms to meet certain teams here. In the meantime "Bob" Douglas had left the court and decided that his activities would be of a manager's interest. He came so hot that the clubs came together to form a defense against Madden and his Incorporators, a combination which became known as the "Bob" team. But Madden had the support of a new editor an editor who believed in him. No sooner than Fritz Pollard had won his spurs at Brown University and was commanding personality of the football team were made to secure his services at the head of a basketball team to come to New York to play. Pollard was the basketball and any team headed by him certain to command attention. But St. Christopher had not been asleep and soon the commanding form of Robeson was seen in a Parish house as Rutgers' best bet of that season and it cannot be deemed that he meant a great deal to St. Christopher both on and off the court. Pollard was the head of a basketball team. St. C's influence was too strong. During the hottest part of the fight a committee representing the "Triple Alliance" called on the managing body that demanded that this writer be sacrificed. The answer was the uncovering of the heaviest gun this writer could bring up and when the smoke had cleared away "Bob" Douglas announced that this writer would be sacrificed to make a Roman holy book for Alpha and St. Christopher. He withdrew from the Triple Alliance and to this day we have had his support. However, recognizing some of the wrongs of the motive that actuated St. Christopher and Alpha to turn against Madden, and that the commercialism which was slowly but surely raising its head would eventually have its bad effect, he joined with the clubs in helping to send Incorporator Bill to that St. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1929 Sol White Tells of the Oldtimers Sol White Tells of the Oldtimers Helena from whence he has never been able to return. New York City was indeed the seat of big time basketball. Pittsburgh was game with a vim and soon the gate was opened. Cumberland Posey and his horde. We here had satisfied ourselves that no team could come from outside our immediate territory and Northern and go to hearing. But Loenid came.又 came. "Oum" Posey swung on the athletic horizon as America's greatest basketball player of color and New York City. Brooklyn. New York City. Brooklyn. New York City. Posey carried his army and always he returned victorious. Spartans, sawing wood and carrying on in their own way, were satisfied to smile at the shafts of ridicule for the best of them. Then Mr. Foey and his famous Pittsburghians were asked to come to New York and see if they could continue to mow down every yard in the game was an historic one. The Spartans from behind with a rush and before Pittsburgh knew what was happening they had the Smoke City players during the hottest part of the fight when they had Pittsburgh had to haul down her colors and declare herself in the hands of the enemy a Pittsburghian dunker when watch and throw the game was into an uprora. But Pittsburgh had been schooled in the ways of the underworld and they decided if they would win, they also could not lose. That game ended on order in which basketball had its hold on the fancy of the people here. It was by dint of many personal sacrifices that Bob Douglas and the men behind the present Renaissance game knew the keep the game alive in this city with a professional outfit with some of the players who had made history in the days of amateur basketball. It is doubtful if basketball will ever return to the school. Alpna, Spartan, St. Christopher, Laetitia, Smart Set, Owls, Loenald, Imperials, Incorporators, Delaney Rifles, Howard University, Hampton Institute, Lincoln University and the mobile brigade played on our courts for a deflication of a public gone almost over the indoor court game. About the time we were enjoying the best in basketball Howard P. Drew came here from the University of Southern California and was the first to attend. Drew had made his nine and thirteen games the attention of the country. Bert Williams' father died about this time and the barber shop which he had for years conducted on Seventh avenue became the headquarters of the third floor of the time. The "Association" ship, Jr., became the place where one had to go to meet all the high lights of the court and track and field, and it was in the very heyday ofence when Little Jesse was struck by an automobile, later passing away midst the regrets of hundreds of friends. Jess McMahon, who later ran the Commonwealth Sporting Club, was at the time carrying on at the Olympic, the first time carrying on at the Casino and here it was that many Harry Wills, the first time saw Harry Wills, Sam Langford and a number of the other two follows of color in the game, to the Commonwealth and in the period of mixed bouts he had already, through stinging bouts between colored and white at his other clubs and through his association with the Lincoln College, the number of friends among the colored players it was not surprising to find him giving the colored fighters a chance at the club club. Here Tiger Flowers, Panama, Bruce Flowers, Danny Edwards, Bruce Flowers, Danny Edwards, Brown, Black Bill, Jack McVey, and a host of others well known in the game did some of their best work. George Moore, America's foremost coach from the coast with Danny Eisenberg and they enjoyed a great measure of success until Danny was "all shot." The team played at 123rd Street and Segment Club at 123rd Street and Segment club, naming a number of bouts that drew well. It was here that Al Mouss and the writer acted as judges, with the offense, then sporting editor of the New York News, acting as timekeeper. West Indians in Sport (Continued from Page 17.) Indians that can be found on almost every fight card every week here. While it has made hardy any hold upon the fancy of colored fans, soccer and West Indians are stages as played by West Indians in other group of color anywhere in the United States, while in cricket the island still remains supreme as it never appeal to Americans, blues or white. When tennis first had its birth here the West Indian, who had his early training at the hands of the British, right in line and when Miss Rayappe was playing in the street it was conceded that no American of color of the female sex had played tennis until Miss Rayave on the horizon. Many had appeared on the courts with rackets in their hands, and they were cusually. With that spirit of doing real whatever he attempts the West Indian brought to tennis the interest which it so needed and soon the tournaments became things with which he could play. Greater New York he had the foundation for the sport which later became one of the finest appeals in summer to those with a social bent. In basketball Greater New York will be the first to play the West Indian for the thrills of a period of which we have already spoken. He was the moving spirit in Alpha, St. Christopher and Spartan, to say nothing of a number of the best players in the game, he even ready to bring the best to him to the game, and what the West Indian has contributed to sport in Greater New York can be better summed up by giving a slight insight into the game of mind which made it possible to play the game with thrill to all games staged in the confines of this great city. When the West Indian came to this country he brought with him the great treasure of "sport for sport," which he was taught from his earliest childhood. No matter what can be said adversely of Great Britain's black colonies are concerned, the fact that black colonies have inculcated in her islands a love for the English national game that has kept it clean in every islandage in every place where the British colonies are located, forced the majority of the islanders to play almost at a sacrifice in his island home. The conspicuous condition which drove them to the United States, a condition which left many of them with little to invest in bats, balk wickets, gloves, shin guards, damm trousers and white shoes, slik shirts and trousers, and jackets, but from his little because of his true love for the game he has gladiated with the sacrifice, throwing into the treasury of his various clubs and not overregretting the step. Untouched by the commercialism which plays so great a part in every game in this country, it was easy for him to develop a better competence for his labor, to invest his money in helping to build the moral fibre which made possible the basketball clubs, for in basketball stood that lion of great strength—that of Alpha the Norman brothers and a host of others and in Spartan the majority were from the islands. whenever these clubs secured a chance to play the games, etc., for their games, there never was a thought of depending upon the chance of the public turning out to witness the events to pay the bills. When was taken as of before the event of an affair, so that if failure ever came they paid off just the same. It was one of the principles of that foundation of sport which the West developed, so hard to form which to despair. / Recognizing his fine qualities, his American brother in sport has joined wholeheartedly with the island, and has all had its great effect and today the only basketball teams which supply the weekly thrill to the remaining lovers of the great indoor game are the American and French Renaissance team has supplied sport loving America with the only team meeting the best professional white teams, and so much has been sold of the team. The man who has managed the team from the start, it would be superfluous to attempt to repeat what every writer of color has said of this splendid manhood. What the islands have failed to contribute so far in baseball will be supplied in the future, for in the future we will be hoping the game for the past ten years and with such good effect the United States marines and sailors from the Caribbean will be hoping to find an all star combination to defeat the Virgin Islands. Some time ago the Porto Hians were taken to assume the task of defending the Caribbean and succession in the Caribbean, but they, too, found it too much of a task. Wherever sport for sports sake has been the focus of American America we not only find the West Indian taking part but making his contribution through his full appreciation of what it means to carry out the sport and necessary, the professional connection.

E,VERY one of these» patrolmen will be eligible for salary increases rang- ing from $600 to $800 if Police Com- missioncr Whalen’s recently proposed pay increase is approved by tho Board of Estimate. This move was taken by the Commissioner to bring about a re- adjustment of salaries between first grade patrolmen and sergeants, tho former having been raised to the samo level as the latter by popular referendum during the last elections. There are at present’ seven grades of patrolmen in the department, The lowest paid are, of course, the rookies, who receive $1,760 to start. Legistation has just been passed to increase their initial salary to $2,000, or about’ $38.46 per week. There are 18,000 persons on the local police force, and 90 Negro mem- -bers is. considered too small a pencen- tage. The popular conviction is that the number should be nearer 1,000. As in every branch of the civil government, this small quota is attributed not to racial animosity and prejudice, but to lack of energy and ambition. It hus been estimated that cight out of ten applicants find no difileulty in passing the examination, ‘The increases recommended by Police Commissioner Whalen for the men and women in the ranks are as ‘follows: First grade, $2,500 to $3,000 (this was the only increase voted on by popular referendum); second grade, §2,100 to $2,900; third grade, $2,040 to $2,700; fourth grade, $1,920 to $2,500; fifth grade, $1,769 to $2,500; sixth grade, $1,769 to $2,000; seventh grade (rookie patrolmen), $1,769 to $2,000. pelling, woman by enduring—anc here Christianity meets her. —William E.

B. Mitchell, dual leader of the Twenty-first Assembly District, who were present when Chairman Samuel S. Koenig of the Republican county organization called his now famous conference to select a minority leader for the Board of Aldermen, will issue a statement of what took place, interested persons in Harlem may get some idea of the manner in which one of the two Negro aldermen was jockeyed out of the $2,500 additional salary post. Harlem Schoolgirl Dies Following Attack by Man in Darkened Hallway Child's Assailant Eludes Clutches of Police After Brutal Tragedy Mother Tells Story of Assault Which Cost Life Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Duncan Brothers' Funeral Home, 2303 Seventh avenue, for Minnie Sutton, 15-year-old schoolgirl victim of an assault committed in the hallway of her home at 27 West 139th street, late on the night of Dec. 10, and which resulted in her death last Wednesday morning. man made good his escape.

In substance, he said that Alderman-elect Joseph C. Baldwin, white, was selected because he had the time to devote to the duties of a minority leader. Alderman Hawkins issued his statement last week, and this week Alderman Moore has his say on what took place at the meeting. Incidentally, all of the statements issued so far have been conflicting. Mr. Moore's statement, in full, follows: Alderman Moore's Statement. There have appeared in newspapers of recent date various statements purporting to be an account of what took place at the conference of Republi- men members of the Board of Aldermen held to elect a minority leader. The statements, the accusations, and misleading that I seem it fitting to relate in substance what really transpired. The conference was called by County Chairman Samuel B. Koenig and held in his office. After it had been opened by Chairman Koenig, I stated I could not see my way clear to accept leadership, integrity and a candidate. I said I did not desire the leadership because it would take up too much of my time, and at my age I did not desire to shorten my life by taking on added responsibility, preferring to give all my time in furthering the mission. I was not a permanent district, I declared I did not believe in a leadership which meant simply to draw extra compensation, nor could I permit myself to be merely a figure-dead leader. I pointed out that no allowance was made for a victory and additional benefits, and that I did not feel that I could meet the financial demands required of such leadership as I believed in. I further stated that I thought the Harlem Schoolgirl In Attack by Man in Child's Assailant Elud After Brutal Tragedy Story of Assault Funeral services were held S Brothers' Funeral Home, 2303 S ton. 15-year-old schoolgirl vict the hallway of her home at 27 night of Dec. 10, and which res day morning. The crime took place shortly after 11 p.m., when Minnie entered the hallway of the apartment house after walking to the corner with her mother. Mrs. Minnie Cotton, who is employed nightly as a check girl at the Lenox Club, 143d street and Lenox avenue. Attacked in Dark. As she entered the darkened hallway the child's assailant leaped upon her from behind, dragging her through a side door to the adjoining alley, where the attack was perpetrated. His deed done, the child was left unconscious in the alley and the man made good his escape. In an interview on Monday Mrs GET YOU --- minority leadership should come to Harlem; that the voters in the section would be greatly complimented and in my opinion such a move would add to the prestige of the Republican party. I then and there declared that I would nominate and vote for John Clifford Hawkins of the Twenty-first Aldermann District for the minority Aldermann Hawkins, and he might be minority leader, thinking he was best qualified for the position because of his experience in the Assembly, and he did not see what he could say to the people of Harlem by way of explanation if he was not selected. After Aldermann Hawkins had spoken I said to him: "I am still willing to nominate and vote for you for minority leader if you say the word." This offer he did not accept. Charles W. B. Mitchell, co-leader of the Twenty-first Assembly District, was present, no objection having been made to him, to whisper that transpired. He heard the offer to nominate and vote for Mr. Hawkins, after which he left the room. Alderman Hawkins also withdrew from the room, presumably to confer with Mr. Mitchell. Upon Mr. Hawkins' return, and not accepting my offer to support him, I then joined with the other aldermen and Alderman-elect Mammela in unanimously' electing her to Chairman Noongg to give a statement to the press. These are the salient facts of the conference and cannot be denied. Everybody knows I always stand for race recognition and representation. I offered Mr. Hawkins my support. He has never said "Thank you" or "I accept." (Signed) FRED H. MOORE. Alderman of the Nineteenth Alderman District.

"An hour later a neighbor phoned me of the attack and I rushed home to summon a doctor and the police.

He has visited most of the countries of that continent with an eye keen to the pres- ence and placement of the Negro. Reports have been made to the weekly Negro press, which gave us the most comprehensive and enlight- ened view yet vouchsafed on that subject. It is to be hoped that he will embody his ob- servations and experiences in the more permanent form of a published volume. Some years ago Dr. Booker T. Washington visited Europe for the Outlook Magazine to study the relative condition of the American Negro and the European peasant, “The Man Forthest Down” em- cbodies the results of his ob- servations and reflections. Mr, Rogers has with great re- search and pains pointed cut more or less eminent Negroes who have functioned in varied ways duting the past two thousand years in the different capitals of Europe, All of these instances have been lost with- Out trace, after two thousand years of ineidental and desultory ‘con- tact, The Negro has made no Appoint a Negro (commission to investigate Haitian affairs is a laudable one, and it shoud have the encourage- ment of Congress and the American people. There are signs of opposition in Congress already, but it is hoped that the President will go ahead and never stop till the real and full truth of the American occupation js brought squarely before the nation and the world. THE COMPOSITION of such a commission is especially important. It will have to deal with a situa- tion bristling, with numerous possibilities of misunder- standing and confiict, and it is essential that the chances of misunderstanding should be minimized from the first. ‘A commission composed of Southern men or men of Southern sympathies would be a failure from the out- set, The cultured Haitian is a type of Negro that South- ern white men have never seen and do not wish to see. It is men imbued with the idea that black men were born to be trampled by white men who have brought about the present state of affairs, and if such men are to compose the commission the President might as well Jet the marines go on as they have been going for the past fourteen years. SECONDLY, the commission should consist of men of high culture, men who do not think that material things are of more value than human life. Men who see only roads and bridges and shut their eyes to hu- man misery and death are not fit to investigate Haiti. Haitians writing to friends in this country say that in spite of all the material improvements effected by the Americans the rural population of Haiti is suffering more death and poverty than ever before. A THIRD QUALIFICATION for the proposed commissioners is a knowledge of the French language. One of the most absurd things in Haiti has been the appointment of American teachers in the schools who cannot speak the language of their pupils, teachers who have their lectures translated to their classes. It is hard enough to impart knowledge even when teach- er and pupil speak the same tongue. It should be re- membered, too, that socially, intellectually and spiritu- ally Haiti is a French colony, and that Haitians can- not be made into Americans. A commissioner too provincial to see this, or to realize that other civiliza- tions are as high and valuable as that of America, had better be kept at home. THE INVESTIGATORS, moreover, must actually investigate, and not be put off by the old show-game. There will be an effort to show them only things that the marines wish them to see. They must dig into the rural districts and let the Haitians speak for themselves. W, B. Seabrook, author of “The Magic Island,” would be an ideal commissioner. FINALLY, the Haitian question being at bottom a racial one, the President should appoint at least one American Negro to the commission, not as a mere matter of recognizing the Negro in a Negro question, but in a sincere endeavor to ferret out the facts. At least four Negroes come to mind instantly — James Weldon Jchnson, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Walter F. White and John R. Hawkins. OF THESE, James Weldon Johnson is qualified by his experience as, United States Consul in a Latin- American country, by his linguistic attainments and by a former investigation of Haitian conditions. Dr. DuBois, an outstanding historian and sociologist, should be espe- cially acceptable. Walter F. White is an accomplished novelist and a veteran investigator. Dr. Hawkins of Washington is an able economist. To these names might be added that of Napoleon B. Marshall, who spent some years in the consular service in Haiti and won the affections of the populace. THE PRESIDENT is determined to correct the Haitian situation, and if he appoints such men as those just named he will be in a fair way to do it. Mi, HARRY F, ‘SIN- CLAIR is at large again aiter six short months in jail in Washington, .D. C. Mr. Sin- clair is out because he is a multi-millionaire in a country where the dollar is God Al- mighty. Even then he was not convicted for the major crime with which he was charged. Rich men seldom go to jail in America or any other country be- cause everywhere money is power. It enables the accused to get the most highiy-trained lawyers and thus defeat the ends of justice. ‘These rich men are usually guilty, ‘but they seldom pay the penalty. AS a matter of fact, the jails and prisons of the United States are filled with the poor, the disinherit- ed, the weak. ‘This true in every other country, too. The prison is the poor man's club since 80 per cent of all crimes are those against Property and the bulk of the peo- Ple have none. Because the Negroes constitute the lowest. social and economic group in our country, there iss disproportionate number of them inhabiting our prisons, jails and detention “homes.” In New York City nearly 40 per cent of the in- mates of the city jails are black men and women, despite the fact that the Negro population is but 4 ‘Per cent of the whole. A similar situation exists in other communi- tles throughout the country. ‘This is always the fate of the Poorest group; but aside from pov- erty, the Negro has the added handicap of being a Negro.

Because France or Italy treats a Negro tourist without harshness does not imply that they desire him as their neighbor, com- panion or fellow countryman. Tolerance for the exceptional man does not mean acceptance of the multitude, It seems to me that our European tourists make a grave mistake in over-dramatizing thelr courteous reception in the European centers, by contrasting their foreign recep- tion with thelr treatment received at home. It all helps to convince the foreign hosts that the Negro's home treatment is the kind he ex- pects, A gentleman never boasts of ordinary clvilities or amenities; he takes them for granted. Robert S. Abbott, editor of The Chicago’ Defender, widely heralded Nis courteous treatment in Paris which any man of his means and standing might ordinarily expect. But on reaching London where his name and fame had preceded him, he was turned down by the London hostelries, just as he would have been in his home eity of Chicago. But after all has been sald and done, the Negro has @ better chance in America than anywhere else on the civilized globe.
